Bernhard Otto Holtermann emigrated from Hamburg to Australia in
1858 as a destitute young man, where, in 1872, he unearthed the
largest lump of gold in the world. Holtermann shared his newfound
wealth with his adopted home. As he travelled through the
settlements, he had the poverty-stricken life documented in
spectacular images, and promoted Australia to the world. More than
150 of these impressive photos have now been published, most for
the first time, and are thus immortalised for eternity. Over more
than 200 pages, the spectacular story of the German emigrant and
his lucky discovery is told, with the images commissioned by him
now available for the general public. Holtermann's photos
impressively document the drudgery of the gold mines and life in
Australia during the 19th century. Several modern-day photos and
representations of how contemporary artists interpret his work have
been included in this coffee-table volume. Thanks to this book,
Bernhard Holtermann's legacy has been given the distinction it
deserves for the first time.
