Henry Field b.

  • Artist (Photographer)
A professional photographer who came to Victoria from England in the mid 1850s, presumably - and unsuccessfully - in search of gold. In the late 1850s Field rode to the Queensland town of Bowen, via Sydney, where he worked for many years as the resident photographer and later the town clerk.
