Albumen print photograph, cabinet card format (165 x 110 mm), verso with Lindt's illustrated advertisement for his studio at 7 Collins Street East, with a superb lithographic view of Melbourne's Government House seen from the Botanic Gardens at centre, and below it a cartouche listing Lindt?s major portfolios (Album of Australian Aboriginals; Characteristic Australian Forest Scenery; Genre Pictures of Bush Characters; Men of Mark; and distinguished Visitors to Victoria) as well as the studio?s photographic awards (medals for exhibitions in Philadelphia, Paris, Sydney, Brisbane, Sandhurst, Melbourne, Christchurch, Amsterdam, Calcutta); the print has some scattered foxing and light marks, the verso of the mount is toned and has a couple of little dents at left edge. Renowned German-born photographer J. W. Lindt is best known for his famous series of tableau portraits of Clarence Valley Aboriginal people taken in his studio in Prince Street, Grafton, in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, around 1873. The spectacular lithographic back mark on this cabinet card is the later of two designs used by Lindt while at his 7 Collins Street East address, following his move to Melbourne in the mid 1870s. The earlier and perhaps better known of the two back marks featured a bird's-eye view of Melbourne. In 1889 Lindt relocated his studio to 294 Collins Street.

Two albumen print photographs in identical Paris Panel format, 170 x 245 mm, the rectos and versos of the matching gilt-edged mounts with the gilt imprint of J. W. Lindt, 7 Collins Street East, Melbourne; both rectos with faint contemporary inscription at left of lower margin: 'Dandenong Encampment', one with the additional caption 'Gun Drill'; both prints lightly foxed but with excellent clarity, the mounts with a few handling marks. Throughout the second half of the nineteenth-century, an annual encampment was held at Easter for the Colony of Victoria's volunteer forces. The encampment was always covered extensively in the Melbourne press: it provided an opportunity for the various units to be assessed on their level of skill and training, and for an enthusiastic public to be impressed by the firepower that might potentially be called upon to protect it in the albeit unlikely event of a Russian invasion (or indeed, violent social unrest). Between the 1860s and the 1890s a number of different locations were used, but in 1882 the encampment was held along the banks of the Dandenong Creek. These large format photographs on deluxe mounts were taken by J. W. Lindt, perhaps the leading photographer in Melbourne at the time. They would no doubt have been desirable souvenirs of the Dandenong Encampment, for both participants and visitors alike. In the more close-up view, the field guns being used are Whitworth 3-pounders; in the other view Armstrong 6- and 12-pounders can also be seen.

Photograph album by J.W. Lindt, Melbourne, early 1890s. Oblong quarto, padded leather with gilt blind-tooling stamped 'From J.W. Lindt's Studio, Melbourne', lining papers with floral decoration in gold, all edges gilt, containing [12] leaves of thick card with 20 albumen silver photographs (photographer unidentified) of the University of Cambridge, in uniform format 150 x 205 mm, mounted recto and verso; most are views of the exteriors of buildings and the University's famously picturesque grounds, the first being a view of Newnham College;a cabinet-size albumen print portrait of Anne Jemima Clough, the first principal of Newnham College, is mounted at the front of the album; the prints are uncaptioned; in superb condition throughout, all of the albumen prints with crisp detail and excellent tonal range. This significant and intriguing album, in its deluxe binding by the studio of renowned colonial photographer J.W. Lindt, Melbourne, was compiled in the early 1890s by a graduate of Newnham College, Cambridge. Its original owner, who presumably brought the photographs from England with her unmounted, was quite possibly Miss Emily Hensley, an English graduate of Newnham who arrived in Melbourne in 1892, was briefly principal of Janet Clarke Hostel at the University of Melbourne, and then became the first principal of Melbourne Girls' Grammar School in 1893. Miss Hensley named the exclusive Melbourne school's first building, Merton Hall, after its namesake - the ancient, rambling building at Cambridge which was the first to house Newnham College. There would have been extremely few (if indeed any) other Newnham College graduates in Melbourne at this time. Newnham, a women-only college founded in 1871, was only the second Cambridge college to admit women, after Girton College (1869). Newnham's founder and first principal, Anne Jemima Clough(1820-1892) was an early Englishsuffragistand a promoter of higher education for women. The fine portrait of her that acts as the album's frontispiece appears to have been taken in her rooms, towards the end of her life; the photographer is unidentified.

The spectacular lithographic back mark on this cabinet card is the earlier of two designs used by Lindt while at his 7 Collins Street East address, following his move to Melbourne in the mid 1870s. (The later back mark had a view of Government House from the Botanic Gardens). By 1889 Lindt had relocated his studio to 294 Collins Street.
