CreatorCocks, S. (Samuel)Date1890-1930DescriptionSamuel Cocks was a professional photographer who operated a photographic studio in Manning Street, Kiama from the 1890s to the 1920s. Copies of his scenic photographs were used in numerous tourist publications and postcards of the era. A significant amount of his business involved photographing dairy cattle belonging to local farmers. Some of these photographs were used by Francis (Frank) McCaffrey in his publications First Century of Dairying (1909) and History of Illawarra and its Pioneers (1924). The Cocks Collection comprises over 800 glass plate negatives, taken by Mr Cocks and other local photographers, depicting the landscape, architecture, and people of Kiama and the surrounding South Coast district.Collection NameSamuel CocksUOW Archival Collection Inventories
