Also known as Miss Emily Florence Kate O'Shaughnessy, E. F. K., Mrs Emily Hasler
  • Artist (Photographer)
A professional photographer, born in Ballinasloe, Ireland. She was a founding name partner in Melbourne's leading photographic firm of Johnstone, O'Shannessy (sic) & Co. (1864-93). She seems to have been overshadowed professionally by her flamboyant colleague. She left around 1870 and married George Hasler in 1871. George took over operations from Emily, so she could have the children.
