OriginalCharles Nettleton, an Australian photographer perhaps most famous for his photo of bushranger Ned Kelly. He also has the recentish FP of Captain Moonlite attributed to him, though apparently with less certainty
Reason
There's something about a photograph of a photographer that's very interesting. We have a few - Frances Benjamin Johnson, Jeremiah Gurney, George N. Barnard, and Alfred Waud and, while I don't actually see them in the category I'd consider sensible, I'm pretty sure we have Ansel Adams too. Mind, given all the others are restorations by me, of course they'd be in the category I consider sensible. However, unless I'm missing something (I am: Julia Margaret Cameron, also by me), this will be the first photograph of a non-American photographer (which means I should probably do that photo of Nadar in my queue, and see about Dorothea Lange, who I thought must already have an FP. I mean, she's American, but still.
Restoration notes
Miscellaneous gibbering madness. This was kinda awful, in a really annoying way. That elbow...
