TitlePhotographing The Modern Athens: 19th Century Ipswich PhotographersDate Created18/08/2020Program Chasing Our Past At HomePresenterMelanie RushHostDeannah VeithAcknowledgementPicture IpswichIpswich LibrariesDescriptionThe formation of the colony of Queensland, in 1859, coincided with the increasing popularity and availability of the new art form of photography. Ipswich photographers became experts in using photography to attract potential investors and migrants to the West Moreton region. Their studio portraits, pastoral scenes, streetscapes, industrial and mining imagery, and photos of events and natural disasters document the social and cultural life of Ipswich during the city’s formative years.
