    Details of early photographs

    Click to see full photo. Feel free to save

    from family photo album of Margaret Brunker passed to James Angus Philips (1860-1890) and to Irene Philips (1884-1968).
    Most were not labelled, so if you know about any of these photos, please let me know. My identification is based on info from Irene Philips.
    Some photos don't seem to fit the dates and may be copies of earlier photos (Sandy Barrie - photo historian).
    The dates are from "The Mechanical Eye in Australia" Alan Davies and Peter Stanbury.
