Portraits by T.J. Nevin in The Lucy Batchelor Collection

A selection from the Lucy Batchelor Album of 1870s carte-de-visite portraits by Tasmanian photographer Thomas J. Nevin (1842-1923).

Above: unknown young man ca 1873, photographed in Nevin’s studio at 140 Elizabeth St. Hobart Town. Stamped verso.

Above: possibly a Freemason, photographed by Nevin in his studio. The man here is standing next to Nevin’s big box tabletop stereograph viewer which features in two other Nevin cartes. Hand-tinted by subsequent owners of the carte. Verso is blank (?).

Above: unknown child with sprig of holly, photographed by Thomas Nevin late 1870s. Stamped verso. Hand-tinting with this red and green sprig motif appears in other cartes by Nevin.
