  For a biography of C.J. Dennis, see: Australian Dictionary of Biography Online
• Scope and Content
  Dennis sits in a chair dressed in suit and dog collar (with bowtie underneath). He is presumably playing a minister, pulling faces and "camping" with his hands, holding a letter and gloves in the first six photographs. In the seventh, a smaller photograph from the same series, he is looking through binoculars. No. 4 has had the background whitened for publication, but it is not known where. The photographs are similar to a portrait in the State Library of Victoria, Call no. Pic J. K. Moir Collection Portraits Box 2 ; Pic LTAF 923 which illustrates the Australian Dictionary of Biography Online entry for Dennis.
