A Modern Vision: Charles Bayliss Photographer 1850–189711 July – 26 October 2008 Exhibition Gallery, National Library of Australia The extraordinary work and career of Charles Bayliss, one of Australia’s greatest 19th century photographers, is examined in detail in this comprehensive National Library exhibition. A Modern Vision, curated by Senior Lecturer at the ANU School of Art Helen Ennis, features the full range of Bayliss’s output – portraits, architectural photography, spectacular panoramas and landscapes – and places it in the context of late 19th century life and culture. The exhibition is based on the National Library’s extensive collection, with selected loans from other institutions and a major private collection. Some works have not been seen for more than 130 years. A Modern Vision is part of the inaugural Vivid: National Photography Festival, which is being held in the Canberra region from 11 July to 12 October 2008.
