Biography
professional photographer, was born in Exmouth, Devon, son of Thomas Smyth Stacy and Mary Ann, née Sheppard. He came to South Australia on board the Orissa in 1841. On 22 May 1857 he married Maria Tatham Dean; they had eight children. From 1864 Robert S. Stacy had a photographic studio in O’Connell Street, North Adelaide. The second son, Robert Sheppard Stacy (b.1862), was subsequently in partnership with his father and carried on the firm of Robert S. Stacy after his father’s death. Branch studios were opened at Gawler in 1867, at Clare in 1871, and the firm was later listed as working for short periods at Menindie (1887), St Leonards (1888) and possibly Strathalbyn (carte-de-visite). At some stage Stacy appears to have been in partnership with James Machan . He died at St Leonards in 1888 and was buried in Brighton Cemetery. In the early 1860s Stacy’s photograph of John McDouall Stuart was reproduced in the Illustrated London News embellished with a background stated to be after a drawing by the explorer himself (but almost certainly by Stephen King ). A copy of the photograph is in the Mortlock Library. This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography. Writers: Staff Writer Date written: 1992 Last updated: 2011
