Overview

Herbert Basedow was an anthropologist, geologist and medical doctor who used photography to document his expeditions into central and northern Australia between 1903 and 1928. A Different Time: The Expedition Photographs of Herbert Basedow 1903-1928 draws on the National Museum of Australia's rich collection of Basedow's photographic work from 12 of his expeditions. These revealing, sometimes confronting, images provide a fascinating historical record of the people and places he encountered, and life in remote Australia in the early 1900s, as well as informing his broad-ranging scientific work. This book supports the National Museum of Australia's 2008 exhibition of the same name.
