State Library of Tasmania's "Unknown"

This stereograph is listed at the State Library of Tasmania as unattributed – “Creator: Unknown” with the title “House in Newtown”. It is dated to 1870, although the majority of Thomas J. Nevin’s early stereographs were produced from his New Town studio in the mid to late 1860s. By 1868 he was principally operating from his city studio at 140 Elizabeth St. Hobart, although he maintained the New Town studio concurrently with his civil service during the years 1876-1880 at the Hobart Town Hall and police work in the courts until the birth of his last child in 1888.

This is another stereograph of a house in New Town held at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery with unknown attribution, although tentatively attributed to Nevin. The verso shows the transcriber had pen and nib problems when trying to write “New Town”. Neither stereograph represents the Nevin family cottage built by Thomas’ father, John Nevin snr, at Kangaroo Valley in the early 1850s.

Appearing late at night as a ghost

What was behind Thomas Nevin's escapade on the evening of December 2nd, 1880?

According to Joan Kerr's definitive entry in the Dictionary of Australian artists: painters, sketchers, photographers and engravers to 1870 (1992:568), Thomas James Nevin was appointed to the position of keeper of the Hobart Town Hall in January 1876, and "despite a tendency to drink on duty", remained in the position for five years. But on December 3rd, 1880, he was dismissed from the position for being drunk. The previous evening he had been arrested for being "associated with (or was) a figure in phosphorescent clothing who had been terrorising local residents by appearing late at night as a ghost..."

The charge was dismissed for lack of evidence.

Read the full article here transcribed from the Mercury, December 4th 1880.

During the period when Thomas J. Nevin was most active as a commercial and police photographer (mid 1860s-1880s), the craze for seances, raising the dead and photographing the visits of the dearly departed - usually in the presence of an obliging trance medium - proved a lucrative activity for photographers.

Once having discovered that they could create doubles from positive photographic prints off glass negative plates, they could then "ghost" figures into the image. Phosphorescence was yet another chemical in the cupboard of the spirit photographers, and perhaps Thomas Nevin was out that night to mock a duped public and expose the tricks of the spiritualists.

Hobart photographers of the period may well have taken advantage of a gullible public, but none were as bold as William Mummler in Boston, and Frederick A. Hudson in England. In 1872, spiritualist and medium Georgina Houghton (1814-1884) claimed Hudson had achieved the first successful "spirit" photographs with herself as the subject.

The National Gallery of Australia holds a "spirit album" containing photos by Hudson of Georgina Houghton, plus the Australian spiritualist William H. Terry (1836-1913). The album contains 36 albumen silver cartes de visite ca. 1871-76 by various photographers, ten of which contain images of "spirits". The provenance was probably via The Josef Lebovic Gallery, originating from a Mosman NSW family with links to the Theosophical Movement.

Thomas and Elizabeth Rachel Nevin's Wedding Photographs, July 1871

WEDDING of Thomas J. NEVIN and Elizabeth R. DAY, 12 July 1871
PHOTOGRAPHERS and wedding guests
REV. James HUTCHINSON

Elizabeth Rachel Nevin 1871

Elizabeth Rachel Nevin nee Day, wife of Thomas James. Nevin (1842-1923), was born in London on 26th March 1847, and christened at St Mary’s, Rotherhithe, London, UK on 28th April 1847, the eldest daughter of Captain James Day and Rachael Pocock who were married at St David’s Church Hobart Tasmania  on January 6th, 1841. Her younger sister Mary Sophia Day was born in Hobart on 9th March 1853. Their father, master mariner Captain James Day (1806-1882), was born on 10th June 1806, in Yorkshire, UK, and died in Hobart, Tasmania on 21st November 1882.

Elizabeth Rachel Day was named after her aunt, her father’s older sister, Elizabeth (Day) Goldsmith, who married Captain Edward Goldsmith in 1829, at Liverpool, UK. Elizabeth's middle name, which came from her mother Rachael Pocock who died of consumption at New Town, Tasmania, in 1857, was changed to "Rachel" on all BDM registration forms, but inserted as "Rachael" into the Mercury's notice of her marriage, suggesting it may have been lodged for publication by Elizabeth's widowed father Captain James Day.

Elizabeth Rachel Day married Thomas James Nevin on 12th July, 1871 at the Wesleyan Chapel, Kangaroo Valley, Hobart Tasmania.

The following marriage notice appeared in the Mercury of July 14th, 1871.
NEVIN-DAY - On Wednesday, 12th July, at the Wesleyan Chapel, Kangaroo Valley, by the Rev. J. Hutchison [sic], Thomas, eldest son of Mr. J. Nevin, of Kangaroo Valley, to Elizabeth Rachael [sic], eldest daughter of Captain Day, of Hobart Town.
They had seven children, six of whom survived to adulthood. Thomas J. Nevin died on March 12th, 1923, aged 80 yrs. His wife Elizabeth Rachel (Day) Nevin died on June 21st, 1914, aged just 67 yrs. Their graves are located at the Cornelian Bay cemetery, Hobart, Tasmania.

The Wedding Photograph, 12 July 1871
This photograph was taken at Thomas J. Nevin's studio, the City Photographic Establishment, 140 Elizabeth St. Hobart Town, possibly by his younger brother Jack (Constable John Nevin or W. J. Nevin). The same studio decor - the lozenge-patterned carpet and floral-patterned drape - appears in several extant studio portraits by Thomas J. Nevin of family members and private clientele up to the late 1870s.

This is an albumen print on a plain buff carte-de-visite mount. Someone doodled in ink or biro in the lower left-hand corner of the image on the carpet, possibly tracing a photochemical stain. There is no studio stamp on the verso, indicating the image was taken for family viewing only.

The Group Photograph
The Methodist minister presiding at the marriage of Thomas J. Nevin to Elizabeth Rachel Day at the Wesleyan Chapel, Kangaroo Valley, Hobart, was the Rev. James Hutchinson. He was captured here sitting at the table with the griffin-shaped legs which features in dozens of Thomas J. Nevin's portraits of private clientele taken at his city studio, 140 Elizabeth St., Hobart, an indication that the Reverend's photograph was likely taken by Thomas J. Nevin, although the QVMAG catalogue notes state that the photographer was Henry Hall Baily, a close friend of the Nevin family well into 1880s whose studio in the 1860s faced Nevin's on Elizabeth St. Hobart. H. H. Baily may have acquired Nevin's negative for further copies at the Rev. Hutchinson's request.

Then again, Henry Hall Baily may well have taken both the photograph of the couple, Thomas and Elizabeth Rachel (Day) Nevin in wedding dress (above) and of the Rev. Hutchinson on the day; in fact, H. H. Baily may have been a wedding guest among the three men standing behind the seated bride and groom, with the fourth, younger brother Jack Nevin (William John) standing at extreme right, hand on hip in his typical pose.

It is possible that the man standing on Jack Nevin's right was Thomas Nevin's close friend and partner, photographer Samuel Clifford. If H. H. Baily attended the wedding, did he take this photograph, or was he one of the two remaining unidentified men? If the latter, then who was the fifth photographer present from Thomas Nevin's cohort - i.e. not Thomas himself or his brother Jack Nevin, not H. H. Baily nor Samuel Clifford, so who took it? Alfred Bock, perhaps, on a visit from Victoria, who was Nevin's former mentor and leasee of the City Photographic Establishment studio until his departure from Tasmania in 1867.

The two signatory witnesses on the marriage registration form were William Hanson, furniture dealer whose shop was located on the corner of Elizabeth and Warwick streets, Hobart (site of the former hotel the Black Prince), and Elizabeth's younger sister and bridesmaid (both wore the same floral hair pin), standing at her left shoulder. There is also the possibility that one of the men standing was their father, Captain James Day (1808-1882); their mother, however, had died of consumption in 1857, leaving questions as to the identities of the other two women present.

This is a very unusual photographic artefact, a sepia print on thin paper which was rescued recently from a modern album held in the estate of Eva Elizabeth Morris nee Nevin (1917-2008), a grand daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Rachel Nevin, eldest daughter of their youngest son Albert E. Nevin (m. Emily Davis 1917). The print had been pasted onto a glue-coated ridged sheet and covered with plastic, hence the deterioration from the ridges showing through the paper. The original photograph, taken in the studio, was not cropped before it was printed. The edges of the backdrop sheet, featuring an arch to the viewer's left, are clearly visible.

Tasmanian Newspapers: The Mercury & STILWELL Index



View of Macquarie St Hobart and Mercury Offices from Town Hall ca. 1878

Photographer Thomas J. Nevin was well known to the readers of the Mercury, the Hobart newspaper apart from the usual trade advertisements for his services and the notices inserted on the occasion of births, deaths and marriages within his family. He reproduced the front page of the 23 December 1874 issue as a card measuring 3x2 inches, which was reported in an article on 25 December 1874:

A PHOTOGRAPHIC FEAT. - Mr T. J. Nevin, of Elizabeth-street, has performed a feat in photography which may be justly regarded as a literary curiosity. He has succeeded in legibly producing the front page of The Mercury of Wednesday, the 23 inst., on a card three inches by two inches. Many of the advertisements could be read without the aid of a glass, and the seven columns admit of a margin all round the card.



Above: the front page of the Mercury, 23 December 1874

Thomas J. Nevin was actively involved in providing the press with photographs for display in their street-front windows from ca. 1872. Furnishing details to reporters of events and exhibitions at the Hobart Town Hall was another aspect of his job as Office and Hall Keeper there from the mid-1870s. And when Thomas Nevin was dismissed from the Town Hall position supposedly for inebriation in December 1880, the Mercury ran a series of short notices and a detailed account of the whole incident into January 1881.



Above: The GHOST incident again: this notice in the Mercury, 26 December 1880 took pains to stress that Thomas Nevin was discharged from the HCC for drunkenness and not for pretending to be a ghost on the night of December 3, 1880. The "coward", i.e. the ghost, was probably Edwin Midwood, Nevin's colleague who was the Information Officer for the Hobart City Corporation at the Town Hall.

The STILWELL INDEX



G.T. Stilwell, Mercury photo 1970s[?]

Researchers are indebted to the late G.T. Stilwell for his creation of the Stilwell Index during his service at the State Library of Tasmania. G.T. Stilwell also published a short biography of Thomas Nevin with Joan S. Kerr outlining the Town Hall dismissal and the misattribution in the 1980s by amateur historian Chris Long of T. J. Nevin's convict portraiture to the non-photographer commandant of the Port Arthur prison, A.H. Boyd in the mammoth publication, The Dictionary of Australian Artists: painters, sketchers, photographers and engravers to 1870, edited by Joan Kerr. (Melbourne: Oxford University Press 1992).

There are four entries for Thomas J. Nevin in the Stilwell Index, the State Library of Tasmania's TALIS Catalogue for the Tasmanian Index (Newspapers & Journals), now defunct (as at 2022):
