The View from Here: The
Photographic World of
Alfred Elliott 1890–1940

The ‘View from Here’ presented the work of amateur photographer Alfred Elliott whose practice spanned a 50-year period from 1890–1940. The collection of glass-plate negatives — some for the first time reproduced in this show — captured daily life, historical events and an evolving Brisbane cityscape. The exhibition identity, supporting material and exhibition hang were to be clean, contemporary, respectful and in no way feel old, out-of-date or colonial.
