b/w negative TYPE: cellulose acetate STATUS: preservation material Image number A12111:1/9/1970/17/43 Managed by Item held by Nationl Archives of Australia Collection or series A12111: Immigration Photographic Archive 1946 – Today Date or place 1970 Rights Reproduction Rights owned by The national Archives of Australia The
Pastorelle Sisters supplied this photograph with erroneous details to
the National Archives.
The name of the sister on the left is incorrect. Wanting to be
credited with contributions to Ethnic Arts and Crafts in Australia
but omitting to acknowledge the artist present in the photo..and
substituting her name...the nun on the left is not
Mother Gemma Nazzari but rather former Sr. Esther Henderson (Robin Ruth Henderson) at 26yrs of age. (I was the only sister who wore a normal cardigan). This photo was taken whilst I was working at STANTHORPE 1970-73 among the Italian migrant community assisting them to assimilate into Australian culture. Grateful Thanks to The Australian National Archives for amending the incorrect information supplied by the Pastorelle Sisters and for identifying the nun on the left correctly. I, then Sr. M. Esther Henderson, was the Pastorelle Sisters' first Anglo-Australian recruit. Now in secular life I am known as Robin Ruth Henderson and I am the professsional artist/ author of the Mural depicting St. Joseph the Worker. Rights-in the artwork remain with the artist
