Historical information

Frederick de Kock first advertised as a teacher of French situated in Mr N Caire's photographic Studio, View Place. In 1882 he began teaching hand painting on ceramics. In 1883 he advertised as a photographer with his own studio on the corner of Mitchell and King Street, which was later named the Bendigo Portrait rooms.
In December 1887 Mrs De Kock sold all her goods prior to a move to Sydney.
In 1888 Frederick advertised as a representative of the Enlargement Company who was visiting Bendigo to take orders.
This information suggests that this photograph was taken between 1883 and 1887.
