Biography: professional photographer, a younger brother of Perez Batchelder , came from Boston to Melbourne with Freeman and Benjamin Batchelder in 1856 to assist Perez. Nathaniel and his wife, Anna, moved to Sydney with Benjamin and the two men opened a studio in 1858 at 348 George Street. Batchelder Brothers advertised portrait photographs and sales of photographic equipment: 'cameras, lenses, chemicals, cases and every description of goods used in the photographic art constantly on sale’. Portraits could be purchased in the form of 'Coloured Collodiotypes, Calotypes, Melainotypes [tintypes] and Stereoscopic portraits taken daily’. For a brief period in December 1858 the firm advertised as Balk and Batchelder Brothers. Nathaniel Batchelder died suddenly at Balmain of a heart attack on 22 March 1860; his son, Charles, also died that year. By December the portrait gallery, 'well known as Batchelders’, was to let.
