(contact QldPics about this picture)

Harriett Brims (nee Elliott) was born in Yandila, Queensland, in 1864. She moved to Ingham with her husband and five children in 1894, and within a few years had established herself as a professional photographer, first listed in Pugh's Trade Directory as proprietor of the 'Britannia Studios' at Ingham in 1902. She moved her operations to Mareeba in 1903, and later worked as a photographer in Chillagoe, Irvinebank, Watsonville, near Herberton, and Brisbane. (Information taken from: Joan Kerr (ed), Heritage : the national women's art book : 500 works by 500 Australian women from colonial times to 1955, 1995). The exterior of the studio in this image looks freshly painted, and numerous photographs are on display in the studio's front window.
