Silver gelatin photomontage of members of the First Legislative Assembly of N.S.W. 1920s. The original photomontage was taken by Edwin Dalton in 1859. This is a 1920s copy of a copy made by Marion ca. 1892 - 1897.

The silver gelatin photograph of the Marion copy of the members of the Legislative Assembly has several variations from the original composition by the photographer Edwin Dalton. The portraits in the copy are all identified and the layout has been expanded and in some places slightly rearranged. A couple of the portraits appear to be additions, not visible in the original.
