"En Nybyggers Bolig i Australien". Cottage on Creswick, Australia. Creswick ligger i Victoria, nord for Melbourne, ikke langt fra guldgraverbyen Ballarat. Foto Edward Haigh. The Filmmuseum.
Professional photographer, lived and worked in Melbourne 1861-1862. He was a pupil of the celebrated Crimean War photographer Roger Fenton. Was taking photographs in Yorkshire by 1859. His paper, 'On Photography’, read before the Halifax Literary and Philosophical Society, was published in Humphrey’s Journal of Photography, and the Allied Arts and Sciences on 15 March and his photograph of the interior of Saltaire Church was the basis of an engraving published in the Illustrated London News on 24 December 1859. Haigh came to Melbourne in January 1861 and began working professionally from Murphy Street, South Yarra. A first-class certificate awarded at the 1861 Victorian Exhibition for his collection of photographic and stereoscopic views taken in England, France and Victoria was followed by a medal for 'stereoscopic and other views in the colony’ when his Victorian photographs were sent on to the 1862 London International Exhibition. Haigh apparently returned home with his exhibits.

Ballarat. "Roberts Bros Photographers, Sturt St., Ballarat. Next the gas office". Visitkortfotografi, håndkoloreret. Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. BM 322x34. (Honi soit qui mal y pense (skam få den der tænker ilde herom) står det på "seglet" Dieu et mon droit.). Der blev fundet guld i regionen i 1851 og det satte gang i en veritabel folkevandring til området. Billedet er fra en bornholmsk samling - og vel en bornholmer på jagt efter guld i Australien. Og så fandt han en sød kone - og sikkert også guld!

En af Australiens største guldgraverbyer, den hed Sandhurst fra 1854 til 1891. Det er et visitkortfoto og bemærk den diskrete farvelægning, blåt på øjnene, rødt på kinderne og guld på knapperne.

Jeg tror man skal tolke det som at herren på billedet hedder John (Johannes) Holm. Han blev gift med Esther fra England. De fik en datter som også hed Esther. Han (de) var hotelejer og frimurer i Melbourne. Foto formentlig også 1870erne. Flot par.
