Melbourne parks & gardens : through the magic lantern

Timms, Peter, 1948-, author2012English
"The photographs in this exhibition began life as lantern slides. Although we will probably never know for certain whether they were Bogue-Luffmann's, there is good reason to believe so. What you see here is just a small part of a collection of more than 300 slides found in 1975 at Burnley Horticultural College (as it was by then called) That they survived at all was thanks to a combination of luck and the foresight of a student, who happened to come across them while clearing out a disused storeroom. By taking them into his care, he saved them from almost certain destruction. Later, he donated to the City of Melbourne those relating to the city's public parks." -- Peter Timms.
