Summary
Paper Photograph Folder used by Vincenzo Candela. Vincenzo owned a photographic business in Viggiano, Italy, which specialised in portraiture, landscape and village life, and had a well established client base. After his migration to Australia in 1920 Vincenzo continued to use his photographic equipment, more as a hobby than a trade, taking photos of family members and friends in his home, with impromptu backdrops such as a rug or a sheet.
