Summary

Black and white photograph of a portrait of Mary Thomas, wife of Robert Thomas, believed to be by her daughter Francis. Mary and Robert were both colonists, coming to South Australia in 1836 aboard the 'Africaine'. They established the first business and newspaper, 'The South Australian Gazette and Colonial Register'. The portrait portrays Mary as a young woman, and is very similar to the image which features in the front of the publication of Mary's diary 'The Diary and Letters of Mary Thomas', however certain aspects of the two images differ. The photograph is believed to be dated 1911 from a stamp on the envelope.
