Big furniture

A DigitalNZ Story by Fiona, Alexander Turnbull Library

William James Harding and associated Wanganui based photographers' work is a veritable trove. The use of large furniture props piqued my interest alongside the variety of poses, attire and moods of the subjects captured c 1870s - 1890s.
