Photograph, Anglo-Australasian Photographic Company, Scene from the Black Spur, 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 series of 60 photographs that comprise the series was 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.Views of Victoria (General Series) No.27 / ‘Scene from the Black Spur’ / Albumen silver photograph mounted on boardOn Reverse: ‘The scene which this illustration represents is taken from one of the slopes of the Black Spur Hill, on the Great Dividing Range of Mountains, and is characteristic of the scenery to be found in most parts of the beautiful and romantic districts of Fernshawe and Healesville.’nicholas caire (1837-1918), australia - landscape photography -

Book, Gelding Street Press, Abalone pioneers : the Untold Stories of the Victorian Western Zone Divers, 2019
“Abalone Pioneers is the Australian story of the divers, deckhands, researchers and processors who established and developed the zone's abalone industry. The book chronicles the amateur fisherman of the 1950s and the hazy crazy tribe of ‘scruffy longhairs’, who were attracted by the hedonistic lifestyle and fantastic profits in the 1960s, to the professional enterprise of today. It charts the development of the Victorian Western Abalone Divers Association and it role managing and protecting the Victorian Western Zone’s resources, and explores the successful diver-led commercial processors. Illustrated with over 100 historical photographs and featuring over 50 interviews, Abalone Pioneers is an exuberant and fascinating account of the establishment of one of Australia’s valuable but little-known fisheries.”--Back cover.224 pages, 19 pages of plates : illustrations (chiefly colour), colour facsimiles, colour portraits ; 27 cm.non-fiction“Abalone Pioneers is the Australian story of the divers, deckhands, researchers and processors who established and developed the zone's abalone industry.
