Research Notes
The original print which Dammann copied was collected by a German, Julius Ferdinand Berini, who was resident in Brisbane until 1869 and thereafter South Australia, who subsequently shared Australian photographs with Dammann. Another Dammann copy of this photograph is in the British Museum collection (Oc,A3.49) with an inscription on the reverse stating 'Dr Berini', indicating that he was the source of the original. [CM 13/07/2015]
 
Michael Aird has suggested the photographer as being Daniel Marquis (Brisbane) which casts doubt on the documentation from Dammann (presumably originally from Berini) that it is of a couple from Gundagai, NSW. See Related Documents File [Berini] [CM 14/07/2015]
