Thomas J. Nevin 1873
-
Thomas J. Nevin produced large numbers of stereographs and cartes within his commercial practice, and prisoner ID photographs on government contract. He was one of the first photographers to work with the police in Australia, along with Charles Nettleton (Victoria) and Frazer Crawford (South Australia). His Tasmanian prisoner vignettes ("mugshots") are the earliest to survive in public collections.
Disclaimer
We have not voluntarily contributed to any publication which supports the misattribution of Nevin's prisoner/convict photographs (300 extant) to the non-photographer A.H. Boyd, nor do we condone any attempts by public institutions or private individuals to co-opt the work on these Nevin weblogs and associated sites to apply the misattribution.
