Abstract
Current photo-historiography largely ignores the influence on nineteenth century photographers of Alexander von Humboldt's co-examination of poetry, painting, and the cultivation of exotic plants. This essay argues for a Humboldtian reading of selected photographs by the European-born Australian photographer John William Lindt (1845-1926).
