Dear Flickr viewers,

The reason people don't smile in early photographs is because they had to stay perfectly still for long exposure times, and in the studio, their neck was held by an uncomfortable clamp.

Also in this case, life on the goldfields was hard and often short

Auch wenn dieses Paar nicht sehr glücklich aussieht, so kann man sich gut vorstellen, dass sie wesentlich länger bei einem Shooting gesessen sind, als in unserer digitalisierten Zeit. Dennoch ein sehr stimmungsvolles Bild, das viel über die damalige Zeit aussagt. Sehr schön.

Mr A. B. Clinton photographer died in 1906 aged 51 in Townsville - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/171571018?searchTerm=A... So he is about 18 years old in this photo?

Via Trove, an October 1872 description of the new Home Rule (near Gulgong) which mentions "bakeries", plural - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/70497879 In October 1875 there was a large fire in Home Rule, including "Pope's Bakery". I wonder if this is a photo of Mr and Mrs Pope and their shop? - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/70586510?searchTerm=ba...
