Richard Daintree is well known as an Australian colonial photographer and geologist. I look at six international exhibitions he created from 1872 to 1879 that promoted the colony of Queensland by systematically integrating spectacular grids of painted photographs with displays of scientific samples. By analysing installation views, I argue that the popular success of these exhibitions came from the use of various new photographic technologies within the space of the exhibition, where the frontier directly interacted with the metropole. Further, I argue that Daintree’s personal passion for the science of geology profoundly structured the colonialist narrative of his exhibitions, which combined the latest apparatuses of scientific knowledge and imperial communication, revealing him to be an innovative and internationally significant creator of synthesised exhibitionary experiences.

前沿与都市、科学与殖民:理查德·丹特里的系统展览

Richard Daintree 是众所周知的澳大利亚殖民摄影师和地质学家。我回顾了他在 1872 年至 1879 年期间举办的六个国际展览,这些展览通过系统地将壮观的彩绘照片网格与科学样本展示相结合,促进了昆士兰殖民地的发展。通过分析装置视图,我认为这些展览的流行成功来自于在展览空间内使用各种新的摄影技术,在那里边疆直接与大都市互动。此外,我认为丹特里对地质科学的个人热情深刻地构建了他展览的殖民主义叙事,结合了最新的科学知识和帝国传播手段,
