The State Gallery of NSW is hosting an outstanding show at the moment.
Shame on me that I've only just now managed to visit.
Bernard Holtermann made it rich on the goldfields of NSW. He didn't
actually dig up the enormous Holtermann nugget, but made sure his name
as always associated with it.

If you have 12min to spare, this is really worthwhile watching

I can't imagine handling 1.6m wet plate and setting up a camera on top
of a tower to take a series of panoramas. They must have been manly men
back then.
Humbly, I went off afterwards with a tiny m4/3 macro to do some pics.
Not quite of the same manly calibre
