Henry King

King came to Sydney, Australia with his family in 1857 and began working with J. Hubert Newman, a Sydney photographer. He established his own photographic studio with William Slade in 1880 at 316 George Street and by 1884, the partnership dissolved and he became the sole prorietor. King specialized in studio portraits of Australian Aboriginals, and in 1893 was awarded a bronze metal at the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago. King would later use the dry plate process to photograph the Sydney streets and Australian landscape.
