Looking Forward to the New Year
At Beaufoy Merlin Lookout
"By the end of March 1872, the A. & A. Photographic Co. had established itself at Hill End. There Merlin met the German-born gold miner B. O. Holtermann and a studio was built for the A. & A. Co. on a block Holtermann owned. After three months of photographing at Hill End and Tambaroora, Merlin's company travelled to Gulgong where they set about making images of practically every building, with owners, tenants and passers-by, achieving an unrivalled documentation of a town of that time. At Hill End on 19 October Merlin, again photographing house-to-house, recorded the unearthing of 'Holtermann's nugget'. He wrote an account of Holtermann's life for the Town and Country Journal (2 November 1872)."
