The photographer, Judge E.B. Docker and his father, Joseph Docker, were both keen photographers. On the former's death, in 1924, the family believes that all the negatives to his prints were presented to the Australian Photographic Society [?], or [Photographic Society of N.S.W.]. However some, of a visit to the British Isles in 1907, were presented later by a member of the family, Miss Jennifer Ward. The photographs were divided amongst the surviving children.
