National Library of Australia

Harold Cazneaux, one of Australia's best loved photographers, often used family members as models for his work, blurring the lines between the personal and the public. Nowhere is this more apparent than in a recently donated collection of 350 glass negatives of Cazneaux's family photographs. In this issue, the National Library reproduces prints it has made from Cazneaux's negatives.

This image, possibly taken by Pierce Matt Cazneau, shows a young Winifred Hodge, who later became Cazneaux's wife. Throughout the collection, we see her as a young bride, a new mother and, in the last single portrait Cazneaux took of her, a matronly woman with grey hair. Winifred is a constant presence in Cazneaux's family photographs
