Photograph, Anglo-Australasian Photographic Company, Sylvan Dell, near Loutitt Bay, c. 1876
Nicholas Caire was born on Guernsey in the Channel Islands in 1837. He arrived in Adelaide with his parents in about 1860. In 1867, following photographic journeys in Gippsland, he opened a studio in Adelaide. From 1870 to 1876 he lived and worked in Talbot in Central Victoria. In 1876 he purchased T. F. Chuck's studios in the Royal Arcade Melbourne. In 1885, following the introduction of dry plate photography, he began a series of landscape series, which were commercially successful. As a photographer, he travelled extensively through Victoria, photographing places few of his contemporaries had previously seen. He died in 1918. Reference: Jack Cato, 'Caire, Nicholas John (1837–1918)', Australian Dictionary of Biography.An original, rare photograph from the series 'Views of Victoria: General Series' by the photographer, Nicholas Caire (1837-1918). The 60 photographs that comprise the series were issued c. 1876 and reinforced a neo-Romantic view of the Australian landscape to which a growing nationalist movement would respond. Nicholas Caire was active as a photographer in Australia from 1858 until his death in 1918. His vision of the Australian bush and pioneer life had a counterpart in the works of Henry Lawson and other nationalist poets, authors and painters.'Sylvan Dell, near Loutitt Bay’ : Views of Victoria (General Series) No.54 : Albumen silver photograph | Photo on card with Title and Description on reverse | Mounted 24 x 30 cm; Photo 12 x 17 cm.On Reverse: ‘Sylvan Dell is one of the favourite resorts for visitors who are in search of the romantic. The peculiarly slender and upright foliage which is seen near the foreground is that of the myrtle tree. Dogwood, brush, staghorn, ferns, and wattle make up the background. Considerable difficulty is experienced in reaching the Dell, in consequence of the precipitous hills and dense scrub which surround it.’nicholas caire (1837-1918), lorne (vic), landscape photography -
