b'164PHOTOGRAPHS1126DAN KELLY photographed by Arthur BURMAN at his Burke Street East Studio, circa 1878,Albumen paper print affixed to a carte-de-visite, with Dan Kelly in manuscript added to the ornately printed photographers details on the reverse; sightly cut-down (card), overall 10.2 x 6.5cm.The only other example of this image known to us is held in the Victoria Police Museum.Daniel Kelly (1860 - 1881) was the youngest brother of Ned Kelly. Dan grew up with his brothers and sisters and their widowed mother near Greta in north-east Victoria. Dan first got into trouble with the law when aged ten. He and his brother Jim, aged twelve, were arrested by Constable Flood for riding a horse that did not belong to them. In fact, they had been doing some work for a local farmer and he had lent the boys the horse to ride home. Flood did not believe the boys and they were forced to spend a night in the cells before the matter was cleared. In 1873, fourteen-year-old Jim Kelly was jailed for five years for dealing in stolen cattle. He and his family always claimed that he had simply been helping some relatives, unaware that not all the cattle was theirs.On 15 April 1878 Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick arrived at the Kelly home and asked for Dan, who was wanted on suspicion of horse theft. While he was there Fitzpatrick made a pass at Dans sister, Kate. The other members of the household reacted by throwing him to the floor and his wrist was lightly cut. Fitzpatrick later claimed that the Kellys had attacked him with revolvers and that Ned Kelly was also involved. In fact, the only other men in the house were Dan, William Williamson and Bill Skillion. Ned Kelly always maintained that at the time of the incident he had in fact been in New South Wales. Dans mother was arrested along with Williamson and Skillion for the attempted murder of Fitzpatrick. 1126 Although his account of events was believed in court, Fitzpatrick was later dismissed from the force for drunkenness and perjury and Dan and Ned went into hiding.In October 1878, at Stringybark Creek, they were joined by their friends Joe Byrne and Steve Hart. They came across a group of policemen and in the confrontation that followed, three of the officers were shot dead. Now certain to hang if they were captured, the gang turned to bank robbery. Raids were carried out at Euroa in Victoria, and Jerilderie in New South Wales. The Kelly Gang - Ned and Dan Kelly, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart - were surrounded by the police at the Glenrowan Inn on June 27, 1880. The Gang wore suits of armour to protect themselves. Made by a local man, these were constructed from heavy iron and weighed about 44 kilograms each. The armour was tough enough to repel bullets but their legs and arms were not protected. Joe Byrne was shot in the groin and died. Ned Kellys refusal to surrender, and his loyalty to his mates when he could have escaped, is part of what created the Kelly legend. When the siege was over, the bodies of Steve Hart, 21, and Dan Kelly, 19, lay side by side, in a back room of the inn.Arthur William Burman (1851 - 1915) was one of the nine children of photographer William Insull Burman (1814-1890), who came to Victoria in 1853. Burman senior worked as a painter and decorator before establishing his own photography business in Carlton around 1863. Arthur and his older brother, Frederick, worked in the family business which, by 1869, operated a number of studios around Melbourne. Arthur is listed as operating businesses under his own name from addresses in East Melbourne, Carlton, Windsor, Fitzroy and Richmond between 1878 and his death in 1890.$6,0008,0001127KING JOHNNY Aboriginal in European clothing, wearing a king-plate, circa 1880 carte-de-visite albumen paper print on unknown photographers card, 10.5 x 6.5cm.$1,2002,0001127'
