Summary

A collection of 771 glass plate negatives of photographs taken by Carl Emil Alexander 'Alex' Bode (1886-1972) mostly of individuals and families of the Murraylands area, Cambrai and surrounding districts. The images include 'fun' shots taken at Cambrai, and a number of Concordia Lutheran College at Malvern, depicting students and staff at study and play, and various stages of the building development of the college. There are also a number of Lutheran churches, mostly in the country, but including Bethlehem Church in Adelaide. Other popular subjects are family, including Heinrich Friedrich Armin (Armin) Bode 1886-1972 (brother), Emilie Johanna Elisabeth Bode (nee Appelt) 1858-1954 (mother), Johanna Emilie Meta (Meta) Zschech (nee Bode) 1883-1966 and Dorothea Maria Dagmar (Dagmar) Bode 1892-1955 (sisters); Dutton and Concordia College. Many of the plates were damaged at some stage, possibly by water, so the quality varies. A researcher has provided the following information about B 50001/47 : 'Miss Mathilde Sperling was from Sandleton and worked as a maid for the Bode family of Dutton. From about 1906 - 1915 she used a room on the side of their home to conduct a dressmaking business.'
