Frederick George Radcliffe (15 November 1863 – 14 January 1923) was a New Zealand farmer and photographer. Radcliffe was born in Liverpool, Lancashire, England on 15 November 1863. Radcliffe died on 14 January 1923, aged 59, in Onerahi, Whangarei, New Zealand. Radcliffe came to New Zealand from England in the early 1890s. Soon afterwards his wife, Kate, and their two daughters, Harriette and Olive, joined him at his farm 'Utopia' near Paparoa, on an inlet of the Kaipara Harbour. Radcliffe's interest in photography grew and he quickly acquired a reputation as an exceptional scenic photographer. For twenty years he traveled the country taking photographs of small rural towns, large cities, rivers, gardens, buildings, beaches, wharves, forests, lakes and streets. From 1909, with the help of Kate and Olive, he operated a successful postcard business from his home in Whangarei. Radcliffe played the oboe, conducted local orchestras and was an active member of various music-related clubs in his community. He died at Onerahi, Whangarei, in 1923.〔(Heritage et AL: Radcliffe's Scenes )〕 Examples of Radcliffe's photography can be accessed via the Auckland Libraries' database Heritage Images.〔(Auckland Libraries: Heritage Images )〕 File:Lower Queen Street.jpg|Lower Queen Street, Auckland, 1910-1919 File:Cathedral Square, 1919.jpg|ChristChurch Cathedral, Christchurch, 1912 File:Wanganui Collegiate School and Chapel.jpg|Wanganui Collegiate School and chapel, 1912 File:Glen Massey Branch railway.jpg|Glen Massey Line undated photo of a bridge over Firewood Creek, probably about 1917 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederick George Radcliffe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
