Rare Book Collection
Kings and Queens
A series of 12 lithographic portraits of elders from the Album of Kings and Queens of Victoria, Melbourne [ca.1890]. The works are based on photographs of Fredrick Kruger who, in 1877 was commissioned by the Victorian Protection Board of Aborigines to produce a series of portraits of the Aboriginal residents of Corranderrk and Healsville. Selections from this series were later collated as souvenir versions of the original photographs.
