PHILLIP-STEPHAN, Messrs
Solferino. Mining Town N.S.W.
Phillip-Stephan Sydney, 1888. Coloured photolithograph, 283 x 352 mm; short tear and a few spots inmargin, but a good copy, mounted. An unusual photolithographic view of the mining town of Solferino. "The inventors of the Process [of making a lithograph from a photograph] are Samuel Phillip and Adam Stephan... a photographer, and a lithographic printer. For some three years past, they have, in a cellar situated in Woolloomooloo, worked hard and continuously to perfect this discovery, which combines the knowledge of both trades..." (Ferguson, quoting from one of their portfolios).
The results of the process are fairly bizarre: most of the prints have a distinctly surreal quality. Phillip and Stephan produced a series of landscapes, based mainly on photographs by Caire, Lindt, and Bayliss, which could be bought separately, while some were sold in sets. The company continued until 1910.
This view of the famous mining town of Solferino is of particular interest for its details of miners' dwellings.
