- James Tyrell (1875 - 1961) was a Sydney based publisher and bookseller whose customers included Henry Lawson and Norman Lindsay. The American authors Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stephenson are also known to have frequented Tyrell's Bookshop when visiting Sydney. In 1914 Tyrell opened a bookshop at 143 Castlereagh Street, Sydney which also included a museum that housed his eponymous collection of Australiana. Two of Sydney's prolific photographic studios at the turn of the 19th Century were run by Henry King and Charles Kerry, both of whom recorded anthropological studies of Australian Aborigines. In the mid-1920s Tyrell acquired the photo glass negatives of both studios and he occasionally used them to produce photographs for his own publications. The original glass negatives were later purchased by Australian Consolidated Press which eventually donated them to the Powerhouse Museum (Sydney).
