Rome, c1936. Bromoil transfer, titled and signed in pencil below

Born
in Sydney, Morris went to Germany, England and America in 1920
to study the processes of engraving and photo-reproduction. Upon
returning to Sydney, Morris first specialised in advertising
and industrial commissions, and then copying and enlarging photography
in 1927. Morris went to Europe and America in 1936 and "later
exhibited his overseas pictures which were the largest bromoil
transfers ever seen." Morris' "pictures of places"
were considered to be unusual, showing an influence of photo-journalism
which arose during the 1920's with the introduction of 35mm cameras.
Morris was a close friend of Cecil Bostock and an active member
and office bearer in the Sydney Camera Circle. (Ref: National

...This [eventually] led him to found the Indochina Media Memorial
