ProvenanceLe Souëf Family
Description

This series consists of photographic prints (black and white), newspapers clippings, glass negatives, portrait and family photographs of Le Souëf family members dating back to circa 1850 (including a few Dauguerreotype portraits). Family portraits cover four generations of the Le Souëf family with the majority of the photographs taken in Australia. Many are identified and some are dated. The photographs were taken at a number of locations, but many of them were taken on the grounds of Royal Park, where the Le Souëfs resided for many decades.

The collection of photographs also reflects the Le Souëfs' interest in natural history, as many include those of animals, birds, bushland and the coastal waters. Early scenes at the Zoological Gardens including the various animals and their encloures are also included. Many photographs within this series were taken by W.H.D. Le Souëf during his travels throughout parts of Australia (circa 1915-1920). A keen nature photographer, the collection demonstrates W.H.D. Le Souëf's affection for wildlife, particularly his interests in birds and their habitats. The photographs detail the wide range of bird species found in Australia, as well as their nesting sites and eggs. W.H.D. Le Souëf also spent time studing ancient Aboriginal feeding places (middens) and the formation of dune sandstone, which are also represented within this series.
