Photograph - Cabinet Photograph, Stewart & Co, Possibly Albert Key with sons Robert and Colin, c.1909
Written on the back of the photo is Mrs Key. She clearly is not the subject so presumably she ordered the print and it is of her family. Given the time period, it is probably Albert Key with sons Robert and Colin. This is consistent with other photos of Albert, Robbie and Colin at similar ages. Mrs Key would be Isabella (nee Roberts) Cabinet Photo Stewart & Co Photographer, 284-286 Bourke Street, Melbourne Stewart & Co operated from 284-286 Bourke Street from 1901-1910+Inscribed on back in pencil Mrs Keyalbert key, colin hutchinson key, key family, robert dalrymple key, stewart & co photographers 284-286 bourke st melbourne, pam thoonen (nee ingram) collection -
