Victorian Forests

This gallery consists mostly of images of Victoria's native forests.

This first image, “Logging of the giant Eucalyptus in Australia”, is part of a stereo pair of photographs marketed by the American Keystone View Company and thought to be taken about 1912. These, together with glass slides, were components of educational kits marketed around the world. Negatives and copyrights are held by the Californian Museum of Photography. Photographer and place unknown but possibly George Rose (1861-1942) and near Warburton since other slides were taken around there by Mr Rose for Keystone. This copy came from a 75x75mm glass slide purchased on “Ebay” by Leon Bren.
