Biography
commercial photographer, was born in Estonia. He came to Australia in 1889 and worked as a professional photographer in Sydney before moving to the Lyndhurst area of NSW circa 1900, where he chronicled the life and times of the small communities of Mandurama and Lyndhurst in the high country of central-west NSW, not far from Bathurst and Orange, from 1900 to 1915. John Thompson’s book Faces of Mandurama (published by the National Library of Australia [NLA] in 1998) is a selection of Lumme’s Mandurama Collection of some 3,500 glass-plate negatives, rediscovered in the 1970s under the old Lumme house at Burnt Yards near Mandurama and donated to the NLA by R.M. Hines of Mandurama. It includes two photographs of Aborigines of the central west of NSW c.1900, one being a well-dressed Aboriginal girl (possibly Wiradjuri?) holding a well-dressed white baby (P82.1), the other a group photograph of four Aboriginal and four white children posed outside a wooden building with a European man wearing a hat, evidently the local schoolteacher.
