  Miniaturist, portraitist and professional photographer, Eliza Allen is said to have worked as an artist and photographer in Manchester, England. In Sydney she was employed as a photographic colourist for Edwin Dalton. Between 1869 and 1871 she and her husband were officially in partnership as artist photographers, crayon portraits and miniature painters... At the 1872 Academy of Art Exhibition Eliza Allen was awarded a prize for a `crayon drawing' of Lady Young (Lisgar) executed from a photograph - almost certainly the (this) pastel portrait dated December 1867 now in the Mitchell Library.
