  • Notes:
  • Carl Ehlers (active 1880s) was another German-born photographer who chose Prince Street Grafton to set up a photography studio. But, unlike Lindt’s staged studio shots, Ehlers concentrated more on capturing the actual life circumstances of the Aborigines preferring to record them in their natural environment or in camp settings. His photographs are a truer representation of the dispossession of the native population when forced to live on the cusp of civilization.
