Summary

Photograph of a photographic composite entitled 'S.A. Northern Pioneers 1850-59' comprising 120 portraits. The original mosaic was compiled in 1908 by Mora Studio, Rundle Street, Adelaide. The individual photographs were collected in 1906 and 1907 by stock agent Henry Howard 'Harry' Birt, who had been a drover and stockman in the pastoral regions of Australia from 1858 until 1880. He is depicted at B 8502/I5. The original of this mosaic was acquired by pastoralist and stock and station agent Samuel Joseph Stuckey. He died in 1912 and the fate of the original work is not known.
