A selection of photographs by Ruth Hollick

| Portrait of Ruth Hollick; possibly taken by Dorothy Izard. |
These photographs cover a range of subjects including personal, to casual portraits of people/ friends and travel photographs.
Most
of the images were downloaded from the State Library of Victoria web site - and digitally cleaned up.

Captions for the photographs are being added. The files in the Strate Library have limited captioning as it seems that Ruth Hollick did not record a lot of details alongside many of her negatives.
