Charles Bayliss was probably one of Australias greatest nineteenth-century photographers. In his day, Baylisss work was highly regarded and he received numerous prestigious government commissions. His photography has been praised since but, in contemporary terms, Bayliss has not yet received his due. This beautiful publication, drawing on the National Library of Australia exhibition of the same name, is the first to highlight the various strands of Baylisss photographic practice.
