Previously unpublished UNESCO World Heritage-listed photos. 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 in this bilingual edition and are thus
immortalized for eternity.
