Fred Mitchell’s Shots of 1950s and 1960s Melbourne

I just discovered that my great uncle, Fred Mitchell, is selling his photos as prints on RedBubble. Fred’s photos have been a source of admiration in my family for years, but it’s nice to see them readily available somewhere that a wider audience can view and order them.

While his collection is very wide and full of good stuff, it’s his photos of mid-twentieth century Melbourne that I keep going back to: in addition to their intrinsic attractiveness, they are fascinating for their portrait of daily life in 1950s Melbourne. (One of his products is a calendar collecting together many of the best).

The images on this page are all reduced size: you can see them a bit larger on his site, where you can order prints and other products. Clicking any image on this page will take you to that image on RedBubble, since not all of these are readily accessed off his front page. You can’t right click and save these images: if you want copies please do the right thing and buy them off Fred.
