Picture Paradise: Asia–Pacific Photography, 1840s–1940s

André Roosevelt... Legong Dancer, Bali (Ni Pollok, aged about 11, later the model and wife of Belgian painter in Bali, A J. Le Mayeur, 1928, gelatin silver photograph). From the exhibition Picture Paradise: Asia–Pacific Photography, 1840s–1940s at the National Gallery of Australia. "...This significant gathering of over four hundred original photographs and albums includes gem-like daguerreotype portraits, mass-produced views and portraits on paper made possible by the revolutionary wet-plate and dry-plate glass negative-positive process, and prints from the modern era of small format film cameras and photojournalism."
