CECIL.
W. BOSTOCK
1884-1939
Cecil Westmoreland Bostock (1884–1939) was a founding member of the Sydney Camera Circle in 1916 and a leading Sydney commercial photographer, designer and bookbinder, and in 1930 he took on the young Max Dupain in his studio. Though aligned with the Pictorialists, his austere, unmanipulated photographs often looked ahead to modernism, making him one of the more enigmatic links between the two movements in Australian photography.
