- 1866 Notes:
- Charles A. Woolley (1834-1922) worked from a studio in Macquarie Street Hobart from 1859 to 1870 and is perhaps best known for his photographic portraits of the last surviving Tasmanian Aborigines exhibited in 1866 at the Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition. His photo portrait of William Lanne, the last surviving full-blood male Tasmanian Aborigine, records him at about age twenty-six. Lanne died in 1869 and his body was desecrated in the name of medical science. Similarly, he photographed Truganini who on her death in 1876 was long thought to be the last surviving full-blood Aboriginal Tasmanian. Condition:
