professional photographer, was apparently the 'Professor Morris’ who was at 16 Bourke Street, Melbourne, in 1859. Messrs Morris & Co. of Elizabeth Street had a photograph of the Taradale viaduct of the Melbourne and Sandhurst Railway published as an engraving in the Illustrated London News on 13 August 1864. In 1870 Alfred Morris’s studio was at 56 Elizabeth Street, and he appears to have previously worked in Tasmania as well as Victoria. The Mitchell Library holds some lithographic scenes of Melbourne produced from Morris’s photographs, while the La Trobe Library has a collection of eleven railway photographs and a view of the Moorabool viaduct, as well as views of Melbourne and its buildings. Stereoscopic views of Victoria and Tasmania are in the Historic Photograph Collection (University of Sydney). Morris & Co. showed examples of the firm’s work in the 1873 London International Exhibition.
