Biography
amateur photographer, pastoralist and agriculturalist, was born in Scotland. He arrived at Western Australia on board the Ganges on 15 October 1841 and was employed as a shepherd by James Drummond junior. On 4 January 1849, having become an independent flock-master, he married his former employer’s sister, Euphemia Drummond, at Toodyay. There were eleven children of the marriage. Mackintosh soon became a prosperous farmer and pastoralist on his own property, Glendearg, in the Toodyay Valley. He died at Toodyay on 4 June 1881. Mackintosh took up photography as a hobby in the 1860s. One of his photographs, identified by a descendant, is the only known portrait of his father-in-law James Drummond senior, the eminent botanist. The original photograph shows Mackintosh’s elder son James at about five years of age leaning against his grandfather’s knee, a delightful grouping from which the child has been excised in most reproductions. The only other photographs attributed to Mackintosh are portraits of James Drummond junior and Rev. Charles Harper, the district clergyman. Neither shows much photographic skill.
