Finally finished this landscape illustration/study for the background of @KaliPeterson5 commission. Been wanting to learn more rock forms and texturing. Will work on the character art tomorrow...

Picnic on the beach, Edwardian style, 1908.

In 1908 an amateur photographer takes a casual picture to record a day walking along the beach with friends. During the early days of photography cumbersome equipment meant taking pictures outside required a lot of planning. In the early 1900's smaller cameras, and lighter, thinner glass plates made taking pictures on days out much easier. This beautifully composed picture shows that even with cheaper, and lighter equipment there was no compromise in the effort that was put into taking the perfect shot. The clothes, the setting, and the classical composition helps this photograph echo the work of fine artists. I doubt if there are many holiday snapshots taken today that rival this elegant image.

William Joseph Macpherson was an enthusiastic amateur photographer, documenting Sydney streets and beaches, parades and boating events, trips to the countryside (including the Blue Mountains and Woy Woy), family members and cars. The photographs are a superb snapshot of turn of the century life, capturing many aspects of Sydneysiders going about their daily activities.

The Macpherson family had a lot of influence around the area, and yet remained a fairly private people who, from these images, appear to revel in the simple life and family. I think the pictures provide a nice alternative to other photographers who concentrated on recording the grand occasions of the time.

In 2014 the State Library of New South Wales acquired a collection of 400 glass plate negatives taken by William Joseph Macpherson (1866-1923) between 1890 and 1910. The photographs were presented to the Library in 2014 by a descendant of Macpherson, David William Macpherson, having been passed down through the family.

This is my colourised version of a glass plate negative taken by William Joseph Macpherson in 1908
