In 1894, Spencer was appointed as biologist and photographer for the Horn Expedition, the first scientific expedition to Central Australia. This book includes panoramic images, as well as essays which give us a way to understand and consider Spencer's work, the collaboration with Gillen and how the Aboriginal Australians view their work.
In 1894, Spencer was appointed as biologist and photographer for the Horn Expedition, the first scientific expedition to Central Australia. In 1901, he and Frank Gillen set off from Oodnadatta to Borroloola and took an amazing 500 glass-plate photographs, 3,000 feet of moving film and recordings of Aboriginal songs on wax cylinder phonograph. The Baldwin Spencer photographic archive is now regarded as one of the earliest and most significant ethnographic records of Aboriginal life in Australia. This extraordinary collection recorded with compassion and beauty the day-to-day lives of Aboriginal people and their cultural traditions and was to be one of the first major template for European Australia's understanding of indigenous Australians. This expanded, new edition of "The Photographs of Baldwin Spencer" includes stunning panoramic images of the Top End that have never before been published, as well as essays by prominent thinkers in this field, such as John Mulvaney, Howard Morphy, Nicolas Peterson and Philip Jones.
The essays give us a way to understand and consider Spencer's work, the collaboration with Gillen and importantly, how the present generation of Aboriginal Australians view their work. "The Photographs of Baldwin Spencer" will remain one of the most important records of Aboriginal people at the time of early white settlement. With more than 140 powerful images including stunning portraits and extraordinary documentation of ceremonies and traditions, this is a unique and valuable archive.

Phillip Batty is the senior curator, Central Australia and Lindy Allen is the senior curator, Northern Australia in the Indigenous Cultures section at Museum Victoria. John Morton is a senior lecturer in anthropology at La Trobe University.
