George Leake Massingham, a photographer specialising in portraits and landscapes, created a series of portraits of the original colonists in the Geelong region.

George arrived in Australia as a 16 year old assisted immigrant. He worked as a travelling photographer before settling in Geelong.

Establishing a photography business on Moorabool Street he produced some of the most iconic images of 1890s Geelong.

The business was sold in June 1901 and George moved to Bendigo.
