Historical information

This album was likely compiled by Freda Oxley, a friend of the Sellers who stayed with them at the Mission for a few years.
The couple arrived in January 1925, replacing Mr and Mrs Gurney Goldsmith and stayed until January 1929.

The photographs bear the stamp "Herschell's Prints - Pathe Agents". Charles Richard Herschell founded a film Production studio of the same name operating at 31 Agnes Street, Jolimont from 1925.

Significance

A similar album by Freda Oxley with similar handwriting in white ink was donated to The National Library of Australia by her niece. Some of the images are exact copies.
