| Summary |
"Herbert Basedow was an anthropologist, geologist and medical doctor who used photography to document his expeditions into central and northern Australia in the early decades of the twentieth century ... These revealing, sometimes confronting images provide a fascinating historical record of the people and places he encountered, and life in Australia in the early 1900s." -- Cover |
