Thomas J. Nevin and Samuel Clifford were Tasmanian photographers who shared a long friendship and photographed similar views of Tasmania, leading to issues of attribution. “It is likely that they printed these scenes for the local and interstate tourist trade, sharing their stock of negatives and prints from as early as 1865.” Ref: SLNSW, Libraries Tasmania, Douglas Stewart Fine Books (Melb.), thomasnevin.com.
