No mention of our good friend the photographer John Degotardi Jr. in the description? beachcomber australia would be appalled (good thing he's off beachcombing somewhere in the South Pacific). :)

I've added tags to the relevant photos - www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/tags/johndegotard...

Maybe create a set in honour of beachcomber australia's hero?

pellethepoet Mr. John Degotardi, Jr gets his due in the series descripton link but perhaps a mention in the title here might be a good idea! I'll add it.

Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Mr. John Degotardi, Jr. can never get enough recognition, to make up for being written out of history for a while there. :)

I've always found it odd that when Max Kelly published his seminal text on the plague photographs in 1977, Degotardi is praised as 'the unknown photographer who was working with the Department of Public Works in 1900', even though in Jack Cato's history of Australian photography published in 1955, he's mentioned by name (though he omits the important Jr. which differentiates him from his photographer father):
A good example comes from the bubonic plague outbreak in Sydney in 1900 ... John Degotardi's 15" x 12" prints of the rat-infested slums around "The Rocks" ... (Degotardi's dramatic pictures are in the collection of the Government Printer in Sydney.)
