	109 Edward Dalton [First Legislative Assembly] Photography by Edward Dalton, Royal Photographic Establishment, Sydney, The First Legislative Assembly of New South Wales…, published October 1859. Albumen paper print, photographer's blind stamp below image on original backing lower centre, 43 x 33cm (the key 12 x 33cm). Printed title in the image, The First Legislative Assembly of New South Wales / Under the Electoral / Reform Act of 1858. Printed on original key Photographed & Published at the Royal Photographic Establishment, Sydney, 1859, and the names in full of Members of the Legislative Assembly with their electorates. Seventy-nine oval portraits of the members of the first Legislative Assembly of New South Wales, with slightly larger centre portrait of the Speaker of the House, Sir Daniel Knight Cooper, of Paddington. The large composite, from which this photograph is taken, is held by the NSW Parliamentary Library. This smaller format would have been produced for members of the government. Dalton was a highly qualified portrait worker (painter and photographic artist), who came out from London in 1855 and worked from a number of premises in George Street, Sydney during the years 1855-64. He is purported to have acquired Royal Patronage in the late 1850s and subsequently used the Royal Coat of Arms on his mount, although this claim has never been substantiated. His portrait work of Sydney society is represented in the albums compiled by the Macarthur family of Sydney. Dalton was one of a number of professional photographers who displayed their work at the first Photographic Conversazione of the Philosophical Society of NSW, held on 8 December 1858. During 1858 he also produced a series of views of Sydney Harbour and the Hawkesbury River above Richmond, in the form of stereoscopic glass slides. During his studio's operation, Dalton trained William Bradley, David Scott and Oswald Allen, all of whom were later to establish their own businesses. When the studio closed, Freeman took possession of the premises and acquired all of Dalton's negatives. Collections: SLNSW.	$2,900
