I've started digging around the work of early 20th century photographers to see what they photographed along the southern Fleurieu Peninsula. One photographer I've started looking at is Ernest Gall, due to stumbling upon his picture of the coastline west of Rosetta Head a month or so ago.
Ernest Gall, Port Elliot, circa 1906
I know very little about Gall, other than he primarily photographed around the city of Adelaide but he did make some photographs in and around Victor Harbor around 1906.
Ernest Gall, breakwater, Port Elliot, 1889
He produced a book entitled Gall’s South Australian Scenes, which was a companion volume to Gall's glimpses of Adelaide and South Australia.
There is an MA thesis by Lauren Renee Sutter entitled Constructing an Adelaide metropolis: the photography of Ernest Gall and Harry Krischock (1860s-1940s) but it is not online.
