The Australian Bush - Then And Now: The Australian Women's Weekly

A pictorial history of Australia by Charles Henry Kerry (1858-1928). Kerry was a surveyor but changed to photography in 1875 and by using dry plate photography (a new process then) he was able to delay processing his negatives. Until dry plate photography, negatives had to be processed immediately. This new method gave Kerry more time to do more scenic views. This volume is a revisit to many of Kerry's locations - tourist attractions, farms, events and occupations such as cattle farming and tree felling showing how much has changed and how much has NOT changed. A fabulous collection of black and white and colour archival photographs with interviews and articles.
