    In the 1920s and 1930s Harold Cazneaux became one of Australia’s leading photographers, working across landscape, portraiture and street scenes.

     

    Like his pictorialist contemporaries, Cazneaux readily used his children as models. This photograph shows two of Cazneaux’s daughters, Beryl (on the left) and Rainbow (on the right), and was taken in the artist’s garden at his house in Roseville, on Sydney’s North Shore.
