Join us for the release of Snips and Snaps: The Frith Family of Artists by Noel Tozer. This beautifully illustrated book shares the history of the Frith family, portrait artists whose work took them around the British Isles in the early nineteenth century before the art form was overtaken by photographic portraiture. The Friths emigrated to Australia and New Zealand where they adapted to this new medium, producing a record of nineteenth century Tasmania, Victoria and New Zealand and their peoples.
