Ruby Nobelius, who is also known as Ethel Ruby Nobelius Hayes, was born in 1887, dating the photograph to 1908. She is wearing an Edwardian style dress with a rounded, soft updo popularised by the 'Gibson Girl' aesthetic of the 1910s. Four years prior, Ruby was a bridesmaid in the wedding of her brother, Carl Oscar Nobelius, to Florence Prescott in 1904 at the age of 17. This image captures the fashion style of lifestyle of wealthier Australian women in the 1910s. It also displays the social significance placed on 21st birthdays in the 1900s. As she is dressed in a gown and photographed in a studio, it indicates a momentous occasion deemed important enough to commemorate and document. A black and white photograph taken in a studio setting of Ruby Nobelius on her 21st Birthday. The contrast in the photograph is low and the quality is grain, resulting in a low resolution image with limited distinguishable detail.Reverse, top left: " Ruby Nobelius on her 21st Birthday"nobelius family, 1900s

As stated in the postcard, Jack Nobelius, the infant in the photograph, is only 12 months old, dating the image to late 1914- early 1915, as Jack Nobelius was born on the 21st of December, 1913. Therefore, this postcard would have been written during the First World War, following Australian commitment to fight Germany as a dominion of Britain. Jack Nobelius was the son of Carl Oscar Nobelius and Florence Cathleen Nobelius (Prescott). He also had an older brother, Roland Nobelius.This postcard not only captures the early life of Jack Nobelius, but also provides insight into timelines on his life, the brief natures of postcards, their use as new years blessings, and the unique nature of Florence Nobelius' handwriting, featuring informal, somewhat rushed cursive script, with some errors in the writing.

This photograph may depict Theodore Harcourt Herbert “Theo” Gray (1898-1979), a member of the Gray family. Theo was born in Seville, Victoria on December 21st, 1898 to the Gray family - a family with some local prominence in Wandin and Seville. Theo lived much of his life in the area - though his three years in the New South Wales Volunteer Defence Corps during WW2 indicate he might have spent time interstate - and died in Gembrook on June 12th, 1979. While clearly on a pine plantation, it is unclear exactly where and when the photograph was taken, though given Theo's residence nearby it may have been on the Nobelius property. Theo is too unclear in the photograph to determine his age; we estimate this photograph was most likely taken between the 1920s and 1940s, but this is only an estimation.This photograph captures the economically and historically significant forestry industry of the region in the early 20th century. Forestry, among other industries, changed the local landscape and brought economic opportunities to the region. This photograph shows some of the scale of that industry.This is a small black and white photograph on yellowing white, glossy paper with a black backing. The backing is damaged in places, with sections missing revealing the white paper behind it. The reverse has several pencil inscriptions, while on the front is one written in pen. There is a small margin of approximately 5mm between the photograph and the edge of the item. The photograph's foreground is filled with felled logs, entirely covering the ground. In the background, a man stands on the logs, with forest behind him. The scene appears to take place on a hill, sloping down to the right. There are some creases in the corners of the photograph, and some artefacts of photography obscure the image.Front: Above Photograph, Pen: "No idea where!"
