Summary

Description

This is the only known photograph of Joseph Bolitho Johns (1830-1900), better known as the Western Australian bushranger Moondyne Joe. It depicts Johns holding a tomahawk and wearing a kangaroo skin cape.

The original photograph was taken by Alfred Chopin. It was first published in The Sunday Times on 27 May 1924, as an illustration accompanying an article on Moondyne Joe by Charles William Ferguson. The original photograph somehow ended up in the hands of Norman "Feathers" Featherstone of Lesmurdie, Western Australia, who held on to it until his death in 1980. He had asked a friend, June Bailey, to destroy his collection of photographs after his death, but Bailey reneged. She held the photograph from 1980 until 1998, when she heard of the impending publication of a second edition of Ian Elliott's Moondyne Joe: The Man and the Myth. She then gave it to Elliott, and Elliott used it to grace the cover of his book.[1]
