An Everyday Transience

Revisit Australia's Goldfields during the late 19th and early 20th century with the photographers of John Joseph Dwyer. His images comprised street and industrial photography as well as underground and night-time photography, taking advantage of recent innovations in artificial lighting. This book contains over 150 photographs coupled with analysis on various aspects of Dwyer's photography. This is the first time many of these photographs have been made accessible to the public.
