Publishers Description: The Baldwin Spencer photographic archive is now regarded as one of the earliest and most significant ethnographic records of Aboriginal life in Australia. This extraordinary collection recorded, with compassion and beauty, the day-to-day lives of Aboriginal people and their cultural traditions, and was to be one of the first major templates for European Australia's understanding of indigenous Australians. This expanded, new edition of 'The Photographs of Baldwin Spencer' includes stunning panoramic images of the Top End that have never before been published, as well as essays by prominent thinkers in this field, such as John Mulvaney, Howard Morphy, Nicolas Peterson and Philip Jones.
