Description:

Rare vintage photograph by the Hobart based photographer, Alfred Winter (1827-1911)

Artist:

Alfred Winter (1827-1911)
Winter was a sketcher and a professional photographer. He developed his skill as a photographer under the guidance of photographer P.M. Batchelder. Winter exhibited at the 1880 & 1886  Melbourne International Exhibition, whereby in the latter Exhibition of 1886 he was awarded an honourable mention for his work for exhibiting photographic portraits, plain and coloured. Despite the accolades, the jury remarked that while some ‘are very good; others, however, are of unequal merit’.

From 1860-67 he established his own Bourke Street photographic studio,  as well as being listed in partnership with his brother, Richard William Winter, at 90 Bourke Street in 1865. Winter’s paper prints of Tasmanian subjects are known from 1866 and in 1869-70. Winter moved to Hobart Town permanently, continuing to take portraits and advertising ‘a large variety of Tasmanian views’, and like many Tasmanian photographers he photographed Truganini, the last of the Oyster Cove Aboriginal people, in about 1875.
