Henry Lawson's Portrait
(CONSIDERABLE interest was aroused in Australia by the photograph of Henry Lawson recently published in The Listener (and reproduced here) to illustrate the article "Henry Lawson’s Ghost." The Turnbull Library, which owns the negative, received a request for a copy of the photograph from Bertha Lawson, the author’s widow, who is still living in Australia, as it was. one* which the family had never seen before. Lawson made two visits to New Zealand. The first during the depression of 1893, when he worked as a sawmill hand in the Hutt Valley, and as a telegraph linesman between Tophouse and Nelson; and the second in 1897, when he and his wife taught at the Maori school at Maungamanunu, near Kaikoura. Although the Turnbull Library do not know who made the photograph they now possess, it could have been taken on either of these occasions.
