Aboriginal Australians - old and young man, daguerreotyped in Port Phillip by Mr. Kilburn, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Aboriginal Australians - old and young man, daguerreotyped in Port Phillip by Mr. Kilburn, 1850. It appears that Mr. Kilburn, the brother of the eminent Photographer, of Regent-street, has long resided in Australia, and felt anxious to portray the curious race of Aborigines by aid of the Daguerreotype. Mr. Kilburn had much difficulty in prevailing upon any individual to sit, from some superstitious fear that they possess, imagining that it would subject them to some misfortune. He lost no opportunity in persuading them, by small bribes, when they wandered into Port Phillip, usually for the purpose of begging; but, in return, they appeared always willing to render any assistance in chopping wood, &c'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
