19th Century Scrapbooks

hidden-treasures.jpgOne of the little ‘fill-in’ 5 minute programs that ABC-TV (Australian) puts on to fill the gap between shows (where other channels would put commercials) is called Hidden Treasures. It’s presented by Betty Churcher who presents an insider’s guide to the ‘Hidden Treasures’ of the National Gallery of Australia that are rarely on public display. I caught an episode last week which was looking at early photography and right at the start it showed some fabulous Scrapbooks made by Australian women in the 19th Century. Check them out; they’re inspirational
