Good old Charles. He's been dead for 111 years, but he's making a comeback.
Earlier this year his work was the subject of an exhibition by the Art Gallery of NSW, and now the National Library of Australia is giving him a major showing.
Now, we were talking before about free textbooks. It's common practice for Australian cultural institutions to have an expensive exhibition programme or catalogue for sale. The National Library of Australia has put the Charles Bayliss show catalogue available for download as a pdf document. It's 70 pages, but only about 2.7 megabytes. I've just had a look and it's a really useful document for those interested in historic Australian photography. Curated by Helen Ennis.
Download the show catalogue here. " Members of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are advised that this book contains images and names of deceased persons."
