NEW ZEALAND - PHOTOGRAPHY
Footnotes
RARE: striking views of Dunedin (founded in 1848) during the Otago goldrush years, including images of the port, residential and commercial areas.
The photographs were taken by Dunedin photographer William Melluish in the early 1860s; his own shop ("Melluish's Portrait Gallery") is depicted in the view of Printer's Street. They were not issued as a collection until Coxhead purchased the glass plates. This copy has the publisher's carte-de-visite "Frank A. Coxhead, Portrait & Landscape Photographer, Princes St. (Octagon), Dunedin, N.Z." inside upper cover.
Provenance: D.M. Miller, Castle St., [Dunedin], pencil inscription. In the 1880s Miller had a grocery and general store, and advertised in the Dunedin Evening Star (23 November 1889) the availability of "Superior board and residence for gentlemen; bath, piano; 21s to 25s weekly...".
