Sydney, Kerry & Jones, 308 George Street, [1888]. A high-gloss gelatin silver photograph (222 × 296 mm), laid down within a gilt border on the original cardboard mount, with the photographic studio's details in gilt in the bottom margin. Also mounted there is a small gelatin silver photograph (47 × 165 mm) of the signatures of the eight participants ('Government House, Sydney, Jan. 25 1888' is written below the original signatures). The item is in a contemporary frame (wood with gilt-decorated plaster, a little chipped), now lacking the original glass (visible image size 315 × 350 mm, external dimensions 423 × 458 mm). The contemporary label of Cole's Book Arcade, Melbourne is mounted on the verso. The main photograph has a couple of tiny surface chips to the top edge, and a few tiny marks to the bottom right-hand corner; the mount is a little marked (possibly lightly water-streaked, but fortunately the photograph is untouched); these trifling blemishes have little impact on this fine portrait. This informal group portrait features the Governors of each of the Australian colonies, along with the Governors of Fiji and New Zealand. It was taken on 25 January 1888, the day before the centenary of the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson (the main reason for their presence in Sydney). It features (left to right) Sir Robert George Crookshank Hamilton (1836-1895), KCB LLD, Governor and Commander in Chief of Tasmania and its dependencies; Sir Anthony Musgrave (1828-1888), GCMG, Governor of Queensland; Sir Charles Bullen Hugh Mitchell (1836-1899), Governor of Fiji; Henry Brougham Loch, 1st Baron Loch (1827-1900), GCP GCMG PC, Governor and Commander in Chief of Victoria; Charles Robert Wynn-Carrington, 1st Marquess of Lincolnshire (1843-1928), KG GCMG PC JP DL, Governor of New South Wales; Sir Frederick Napier Broome (1842-1896), KCMG, Governor of Western Australia; Lieutenant General Sir William Francis Drummond Jervois (1821-1897), GCMG CB FRS, Governor of New Zealand; and Sir William Cleaver Francis Robinson (1834-1897), GCMG FRGS, Governor of South Australia. Extensive research notes come with this item; they were compiled with the assistance of Dr John Fahey, author of 'Australia's First Spies' (Sydney, 2018), and 'Traitors and Spies: Espionage and Corruption in High Places in Australia, 1901-1950' (Sydney, 2018). Among much else, the notes have identified a slightly variant photograph taken at the same time as this one, held by the Blue Mountains City Library; the identity of the sitters comes from a letter and diagram sent to them from the Mitchell Library in 1929. 'From the various sources available, most notably the title given by the State Library of New South Wales, this photograph commemorates an unofficial, side-meeting of these Governors to discuss Australia's interests in the South Pacific'. Dr Fahey puts it more succinctly when he says it likely offers 'evidence of one of our earliest "secret" off to the side policy conferences'. The notes provide a lot more background information for the purchaser. A few incidentals not mentioned there: Sir Anthony Musgrave was Governor of South Australia from 1873 to 1877, and he died on 9 October 1888; Sir William Jervois was Governor of South Australia from 1877 to 1883; Sir William Robinson was Governor of Western Australia three times between 1875 and 1895 (1875-1877, 1880-1883, and 1890-1895).
