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 19031928 draws on the National Museum of Australias rich collection of Basedows 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 Australias 2008 exhibition of the same name.
