Mrs. M. Pulford and family

Pulford, Martin Harold, c. 1900, Photograph, B 73158/1-16

Photographs depicting Mrs M. Pulford and family members, including her husband and possibly a daughter or sister in law 'Mrs I. (or J.) Pulford'. These photographs are attributed to Martin Harold Pulford. Inscriptions on the original negative sleeves indicate that Mrs M. and Mrs I. (or J.) Pulford were both 'opal artists'. It is possible the women might have worked as 'opalotype' artists. Opalotypes or opal types were a format of photograph both popular and collectable at the time. The negative image was developed onto glass and then hand-tinted to appear more 'life-like'. It is likely both Mrs M. and Mrs I. (or J.) Pulford assisted photographer Martin Harold Pulford in his photography business, by hand tinting the positive image on glass.

Three young women thought to be Grace Langloh Parker (1895-1987) and her sisters Wilga Maud (1898-?) and Una Geraldine Davidson, nee Parker (1901-1986) are central to many of the photographs and it may be that the album was compiled by Grace Parker.

A number of photographs relate to the BHP towns, Iron Knob and Broken Hill. Two of the Parker daughters, thought to be Wilga and Grace, accompanied their Mother on a voyage from Sydney to the Celebes and Java in 1926, including sightseeing at Macassar in the Celebes, the Mount Bromo Volcano, Sand Sea, Borobodur, and other places in Java with the homeward voyage via Singapore, Port Darwin, Thursday Island and Cairns.
