Summary

This photograph depicts a man and a woman out riding their horses accompanied by a dog. The man wears a felt hat, light-coloured long-sleeved shirt, button-up trousers, and boots. The woman, who is riding side-saddle, wears a sturdy hat secured by a scarf tied under her chin, a light-coloured long-sleeved blouse, and a dark skirt. This photograph was taken in North Queensland but the exact location is unknown.

The photographs in this collection were taken by the Reverend Frederic Charles Hall (1878-1926) during the period 1902-1909 when he was the Anglican Curate appointed to Georgetown in North Queensland. Hall's foremost hobby was photography. He used both a half-plate camera with tripod made by J. Lancaster & Son, Birmingham and a quarter-plate Austral No. 3 made by the Australian company, Baker & Rouse. Glass negatives from Ilford and Austral were used; developing was done by the photographer himself and printing by exposure to sunlight.
