Episode Details

Colleen Dorahys discovery of her great-great-grandfather Joseph Maddens burgundy leather photo album from 1880, featuring tintype portraits of family members, sheds light on a pivotal moment in photography history. This album, created by Gove and Allen, a San Francisco studio, brought affordable gem tintype photography to Australia, capturing working-class life. The album, now at Museums of History New South Wales, is a rare example of how everyday people started documenting their lives through early studio sessions.
