A cabinet card photograph of Alfred Deakin and his wife Pattie, possibly of them on their wedding day, 3 April 1882

Deakin was 25 at the time; Pattie (Elizabeth Martha Anne Browne) was 19. The item is in excellent condition: the gelatin silver image size is 138 × 99 mm, the original gilt-edged mount is 161 × 105 mm, the details of the studio are printed at the foot of the card below the photograph ('Orient' Studio, 149 Swantson [sic] St., Melbourne). The studio was certainly operating at that address in the mid-1890s; this photograph may have been printed in that decade, rather than at the time of the wedding itself. Deakin was in office three separate times in the first ten years of Federation: 1903 to 1904, 1905 to 1908, and 1909 to 1910.
