Albumen print photograph, carte de visite format, 62 x 102 mm; verso with wet stamp of 'J. T. Ginnings, Photographer'; the print has lost a fair amount of contrast; the mount is clean and stable. From a carte de visite album belonging to William Savage (1817-1890) and later his son Henry Savage (1857, Robe, S.A. - 1931, Robe, S.A.). William Savage and Caroline (Bolton) Savage (1820-1873) were married in London in 1839 and emigrated to South Australia from England in the mid 1850s with their two eldest sons, soon after the death of their infant daughter Ellen (1848-1854). Their third son Henry was born in Robe and appears to have lived there his entire life; he, along with both his parents, as well as his older brothers William junior (1842-1883) and Charles (1845-1928), is buried in the Robe Cemetery. William Savage senior, a stonemason, was a pioneer settler in Robe and the township?s principal builder in the 1850s. ?William Savage Cottage?, in Victoria Street, was built by him soon after his arrival, and still stands today, a heritage-listed building.

Nixon: 'Photograph of the first Mount Gambier Hospital, which was established in 1869 and demolished in 1971. The building was designed by Government Architect Robert George Thomas between 1867-69. The hospital was built of stone in the Italian gothic style featuring towers and cloistered verandahs. The two storey stately building had two wings and was typical of the Victorian era with decorative dressings around the doors, windows, cupolas, large ornate chimneys and even featured a widow's walk. The foundation stone was laid in February 1867 by James C Lyon' (SLSA B11414). …
