Photography career
Chuck (date unknown).
He migrated to Australia. By 1866 he had established a studio in Daylesford. Later in Melbourne he occupied various studios before opening the London Portrait Gallery in the Royal Arcade on Bourke Street. In 1876 he sold the Melbourne studio and moved to Ballarat where he opened the Gallery of Art.[2]
He documented the explorers and early colonists of Victoria[1][3] such as the Burke and Wills expedition of 1860–61; and his mammoth The Explorers and Early Colonists of Victoria, a montage of over 700 photographs of early settlers of Victoria, made between 1870 and 1872.[2] In 1872, he was awarded a contract to photograph the National Gallery of Victoria's collection, resulting in 18 photographs that were published as Photographs of the Pictures in the National Gallery of Melbourne (1875).[2]
