Biography
professional photographer, was born and educated in Hamburg, Germany. He came to South Australia in January 1846 aboard the George Washington and opened a photographic business in Robert Sanders’s drapery shop in Hindley Street, Adelaide. Like G.B. Goodman , Schohl advertised that the exposure time for his daguerreotype portraits was only ten seconds. From the first he also sold his daguerreotypes through Robert Hall 's shop. Within a month Schohl was in partnership with Heseltine , working from Robert Norman 's dental surgery in King William Street. They made very large whole-plate daguerreotypes during their partnership, the largest ever made in Australia according to Cato. Schohl remained in Adelaide for only a few months. Davies and Stanbury suggest that he worked in Perth, Western Australia later in 1846 (from Leeder’s Hotel) but this was probably Robert Hall acting as Schohl’s agent. Schohl reportedly moved to Victoria. One account has him smothering in a hole while mining for gold at Forest Creek in about 1853. On 23 August 1870, however, one Edward Schohl, photographer, was charged by the Victorian police with deserting his wife at Castlemaine. Described as small and stout, with a nose 'broken at the ridge, large mouth, stooping gait and round shoulders’, he had last been seen en route to Melbourne where he intended to leave the colony. His age was given as forty-seven. Writers: Staff Writer Date written: 1992 Last updated: 2011
