Any information about the camera used to take this photograph? This is fascinating!
Florida Memory said:
Thank you for your question, caoseducado(away). We don't know for certain what type of camera was used. The photo archivist for the State Archives of Florida suggests that judging by the size of the negative (4" X 5") and the date of the photograph, it was most likely a Graflex Speed Graphics or possibly some sort of twin reflex camera similar to a Hasselblad that used a medium format negative. Hope that helps.

This estate map advertised 191 allotments in the Townsville suburb of Hermit Park in 1884. Many houses from the gold fields town of Charters Towers were moved to Hermit Park after 1917. Source: www.qhatlas.com.au/photograph/estate-map-hermit-park-1884

Advertisements for this sale can be found in The Queenslander and the Charters Towers newspaper, Northern Miner. "Varied charms, its eligible situation, the richness of its soil, etc. All this has been patent to the public for years, and the wonder has only been why so magnificent a property has been allowed to lie unimproved, while all around it has been built upon. Hermit Park reminds the Britisher of one of those noble parks in the West End of London." (The Queenslander, November 1, 1884) According to the real estate map the public auction was held at the Townsville Town Hall on the afternoon of November 6, 1884.

Hermit Park is a suburb of Townsville in the City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. Hermit Park is a mixture of predominantly residential premises, commercial and light-industrial businesses, as well as serving as a public services hub. Hermit Park is situated in the traditional Wulgurukaba Aboriginal country. The origin of suburb name Hermit Park is from the residence of a business owner Leopold Ferdinand Sachs.

As a child, I knew Roy well. We used to love to go to his island and just listen to him talk about different things. I remember he was such a gentelman to the ladies. His dog,s name was "Boogem". What a dog. Roy built a special ramp up high to a look out tower so Boogem could alert him when company was arriving. He was a very intelligent man. My step father, Frank Braman, would take us kids out to his island every couple of months just so we could visit Roy and Boogemand play on the island.. What good times that was. I believe some where around 1955, 56, 57. Not real sure about that.
