Biography
Edwin Scholz, known as ‘Ted’, was born in 1881 at Riverton in South Australia’s mid-north. He was an experienced wheelwright, though he pursued a career in photography. Scholz participated regularly in various local shows, where he successfully exhibited his work in the photographic sections. He tended to enter scenic photographs in different categories, including ‘under half-plate’, over half-plate’ and ‘postcard’, and in some instances he won prizes for these. During the period spanning 1905 and 1920, he won approximately seven prizes at shows in Auburn, Saddleworth and Clare. A collection of Scholz’s glass negatives survive, some of which form part of the Noye Collection held in the Art Gallery of South Australia. These depict various South Australian scenes from around the first decade of the twentieth century, including the Burra copper mine and its surrounding buildings in 1906.
