Carte de Visite (Constable Fitzpatrick), Carte de visite Alexander Fitzpatrick
Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick had a questionable character even before being posted to Greta Police Station in 1878. He made an attempt to arrest Dan Kelly but did not follow correct procedure. He went by himself and had also been drinking beforehand. While Fitzpatrick stated that he was assaulted and suffered a minor gun show wound at the hands of "Ned" Kelly and other family members, his claims were disputed by them. The Kellys "went bush" after this incident and two police parties - one led by Michael Kennedy - were sent in pursuit of them.Sepia toned photograph on cardboard showing Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick holding a riding crop with left elbow resting on a pillar."J.E.

An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a large region of the earth. In 1916, annularity was only visible in Australia. This photo card records a rare annular eclipse of the sun as viewed in Warrnambool at 12:45pm on 30 July 1916This Foyle photo card shows the progress of the eclipse of the sun with four images and white writing on a black background.
