Emil Riisfeldt (1846-1893) was born on April 29, 1846, in Denmark. He had two brothers, and the 1855 Danish census shows that the three brothers lived with their parents. Little is known about Emil’s childhood, but historian Sandy Barr has traced his descendants in Australia. Emil and his brother Alfred traveled around the world together in the late 1860s or early 1870s before eventually settling in Australia.
埃米尔·里斯费尔特/Emil Riisfeldt (1846年-1893年)于1846年4月29日出生于丹麦,他还有两个兄弟,1855年丹麦人口普查显示,三兄弟与父母一起生活。目前对埃米尔的童年一无所知,但历史研究员桑迪·巴里追踪到他的澳大利亚后裔。埃米尔和他的兄弟阿尔弗雷德(Alfred)在1860年代末或1870年代初曾一起环游世界,然后定居澳大利亚。
In October 1871, Emil arrived in Hong Kong to work for the experienced Chinese photographer Lai Fong / Afong, whom he described as a highly talented photographer. A year later, he took over the photography studio of British photographer William Pryor Floyd and managed it independently. Three years later, he left Hong Kong for Australia. Historical records show that in December 1873, he traveled as a passenger by sailing ship from Melbourne to Sydney. A year later, he married Emma Pyle, with whom he had two children.
In 1874, Emil opened a photography studio at 122 Bourke Street East, Melbourne. By 1876, he had settled in Sydney, where he operated multiple photography studios simultaneously. Between 1883 and 1884, he also participated in the Calcutta International Exhibition. Emil Riisfeldt died in 1893 in Newtown, New South Wales, Australia. It has been suggested that his extravagant lifestyle and poor financial management ultimately left him in debt at the time of his death.
1871年10月,埃米尔来到香港,为经验丰富的中国摄影师黎芳/阿芳(Afong)工作,他曾经描述黎芳是一位非常有才华的摄影师。一年后他在香港接手了英国摄影师弗洛伊德/William Pryor Floyd的摄影工作室独立经营,三年后他离开香港后前往澳大利亚。历史资料显示 1873年12月他作为乘客从墨尔本乘帆船到悉尼。一年后,他与艾玛·派尔(Emma Pyle)结婚,养育两个孩子。在1874年,埃米尔在墨尔本伯克街东(Bourke Street East)122号开设了一家摄影工作室。1876年他定居在悉尼,在那里他同时经营着几间摄影工作室,1883年至1884年期间他还参加了的加尔各答国际展览。1893年在澳大利亚新南威尔士州的纽敦去世,有人推测他当时生活过于奢侈而不善理财最终死于家庭债务。 >>返回>>
