Lloyds Auctions is proud to present Iconic Glass Plate Negatives featuring some of the rarest images ever to be offered by public auction in Australia.
George Rose founded the Rose Stereograph Company in 1880 and was joined by Herbert (Bert) Cutts, in the early 20th Century and together they continued their operations for more than 140 Years.
Specializing in postcards of iconic historical moments and significant landmarks, The Rose Stereograph Company became a staple of the Australian travel industry.
This remarkable collection of glass plate negatives, transparencies, and postcards – arguably Australia’s most significant photography collection outside of public hands – has been passed down through the generations, surviving war, relocation, and the harsh Victorian climate. The historic Rose Stereograph collection is the culmination of George Rose’s dream of capturing and preserving precious moments in time and remains the legacy of the Rose and Cutts families.
