In a New Light: Australian Photography 1850s-1930s is the first in a two-part exhibition that explores the National Library of Australia’s photographic collections. The exhibition encapsulates the defining moments in 19th- and early-20th-century Australia and in doing so illustrates photography’s unique ability to capture the moment. Curated by Helen Ennis, the exhibition will enhance and extend public knowledge of the medium of photography, Australian history and the National Library’s collections.
