TitlePhotographing The Modern Athens: 19th Century Ipswich Photographers - Chasing Our Past At HomeDate Created18/08/2020Program Chasing Our Past At HomePresenterMelanie RushHostDeannah VeithAcknowledgementPicture IpswichIpswich LibrariesDescriptionJoin Melanie Rush, Digital Archivist for the Picture Ipswich collection, as she introduces you to some of the key photographers working in Ipswich from the 1850s to 1914 and explore how their images helped to define the Ipswich we know today.
The 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.
