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
