Werdegang

“German born photographer J.W. Lindt asked local Bundjalung and Gurnbainggir people to come to his Grafton studio and pose with props he had gathered from various sources. The portfolios, which had different combinations from a stock of about 50 images, became the most widely distributed images of indigenous people in the 19th century.”
