About This Item
Sydney: Charles Bayliss. No Binding. Very Good. Aboriginal family group. Embossed stamp bottom left 'C Bayliss Photo Sydney.' Numbered 375 in negative. 14.5 x 19 cm. Modern inscription on backing board: 'Gayimai Tribe 1876 The original Aboriginal Pole House Family Stokes Point Warringah NSW. Photographed by C Bayliss 1876.' Stokes Point is on Pittwater at Avalon, just north of Sydney. The Gayimai traditionally occupied the North Head and Manly districts. Bayliss arrived in Melbourne from England with his family in 1854 . In 1866 he started working with traveling photographer Beaufoy Merlin and through his recommendation, Bernhardt Holtermann, who bought him his first panoramic camera. Bayliss is best known for his panoramic views and his landscape and topographical images. His shots of Indigenous people are few in number and copies rarely come on the market. Very Good clean image with only slight fading. On old card mount, which is slightly abrased on the edges of the margins where it has been separated from a later framing mount. No effect on the photograph itself. Backing board also inscribed: 'Sydney Antique Book Fair Menzies Hotel October 1987.'
