Dear Margie,
Congratulations on a wonderful find - it would be almost on a par with
winning lotto! According to the Mechanical Eye in Australia, there were the
following Bardwell photographers in Ballarat:

William Bardwell
23 Collins street East, Melbourne 1878-79
21 Collins Street East Melbourne 1880-88
Champion Street, Brighton, Victoria 1880-91
Royal Arcade, Melbourne 1888-90
11 Royal Arcade, Bourke Street, Melbourne 1891-92
76 Sturt Street, Ballarat, Victoria 1888-91
Goulburn, New South Wales 1895

William H. Bardwell
at Saul Solomon, Ballarat, Victoria 1859-62
Main Street, Ballarat, Victoria 1865-69
Ballarat, Victoria cdv 1873
Royal Studio (See Solomon & Bardwell)

Bardwell & Beauchamp
Ballarat, Victoria cdv (no date)
Royal Studio

Solomon & Bardwell
Ballarat, Victoria c1865-1874
Main Road, Ballarat, Victoria 1862
Sturt Street, Ballarat, Victoria 1865
Maryborough, Victoria 1865
Dunolly, Victoria 1865
Travelling photographers.

Perhaps one of our Ballarat listers might be able to tell us which of the
above addresses is opposite the Theatre or which would be most likely to fit
the description on the back of the photograph.

Kind regards, Jeannie.
