Henry Beaufoy Merlin had a range of names (Murlin, Muriel, Merling) and a range of jobs (journalist, theatre owner, actor, lecturer and illusionist), before taking up photography in Victoria in 1864. He travelled north with his assistant, Charles Bayliss, as the 'American and Australasian Photographic Company' and reached Sydney in 1870. They developed a unique style of photography, recording every building in the towns they visited. His association with Holtermann in Hill End in 1872 gave rise to a remarkable visual documentation of NSW and Victoria. He died, aged 43, the following year.
