Unidentified woman, by William James Harding, 1870 to 1889. Ref: 1/4-007382-G. Alexander Turnbull Library.
The photographic portraits William Harding took in his Whanganui studio from the 1850s to the 1880s come to us with such startling immediacy that we find ourselves looking, it seems, at someone we might know.
