# Henri Mallard

Henri Marie Joseph Mallard (9 February 1884 – 21 January 1967) was an Australian photographer.
Born in Balmain (Sydney, Australia) to French parents, he came to photography via the industry. Using his French connections and accent (which was strong owing to his home education), he secured a position in 1900 with Harrington (later Kodak Pty Ltd) as a sales representative to the French consulate. He remained with the company, becoming general manager, until 1952. With ready access to equipment and materials, he was an enthusiastic amateur exhibitor by 1904.

## In the photographic community

He used his business and connections to support other photographers; he was influential on fellow Sydney-sider Frank Hurley, encouraging the budding photographer's interest in the medium and, in 1911, recommending Hurley for the position of official photographer to Douglas Mawson's Australasian Antarctic expedition, ahead of himself.; moving to Harrington's Melbourne office in 1913, he opened the showrooms to exhibitions, including that of John Kauffmann in 1914.
He was a strong advocate for art photography; on his return to Sydney (1916), he joined (in 1917) The Sydney Camera Circle, whose "manifesto" had been drawn up and signed on 28 November 1916 by the founding group of six photographers; Harold Cazneaux, Cecil Bostock, James Stening, W.S. White, Malcolm McKinnon and James Paton. They pledged "to work and to advance pictorial photography and to show our own Australia in terms of sunlight rather than those of greyness and dismal shadows". He also contributed lectures and technical demonstrations to the New South Wales Photographic Society.

## Sydney Harbour Bridge

He is best known for documenting the Australian icon Sydney Harbour Bridge between the late 1920s and the early 1930s. Photographing from precarious vantage points on the bridge itself, sometimes a hundred metres above Sydney Harbour, his work sets the construction against the harbour and the growing city and uses the figures of the workers to represent the scale of this Depression-era engineering feat. His pictures and film of the Bridge were an intentional historical document, and the project was self-generated. Between 1930 and 1932, he produced hundreds of stills and film footage.
Prior to his project to document the Bridge, Mallard worked in the Pictorialist style prevailing in the New South Wales Photographic Society, and though Modernist in composition and design, many of the Bridge images are printed in bromoil. By comparison, Harold Cazneaux's contemporaneous photographs, taken from around the base of the bridge, retain a romantic Pictorialism.

## Recognition

In 1976, the Australian Centre for Photography commissioned David Moore (1927–2003) to make an archive of gelatin silver prints from the collection of Mallard's glass negatives, which were published in association with Sun Books in 1978.
   "Here we have the documentary photograph, radical enough in its context, the social document, a large slice of Sydney's evolution and an example to all of us who think of future generations in terms of historical narration." Max Dupain

# Ng Liang Chiang

Ng Liang Chiang (Chinese: 黄两正; pinyin: Huáng Liǎngzhèng; 4 August 1921 – 5 September 1992) was a Singaporean hurdler. Ng and sprinter Chee Swee Lee are the only Singaporeans with a gold medal in athletics at the Asian Games. He is a Singapore Sports Council Hall of Fame inductee. In 1999, Ng was ranked 16th in a list of Singapore's 50 Greatest Athletes of the Century by The Straits Times.

## Athletics career

Born the eldest of 12 children to a lift-fitter, Ng studied at Serangoon English School. He took up athletics in 1934 but did not have formal training, learning only from books.
Ng returned to the track after the Japanese occupation. In May 1948, he was chosen to represent Malayan Chinese at the China National Meet for local and overseas Chinese athletes in Shanghai, where he set new China national record times of 16.0 s and 57.9 s in the 110-meter and 400-meter hurdles respectively. Ng's records led to his selection to represent the Republic of China in the 400-meter hurdles at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London. He was not selected for Singapore as they were only affiliated to the International Olympic Committee in late August and his name had been submitted by China. In London, he suffered a toothache, which prevented him from performing his best and he did not qualify from the heats.
Along with close rival Lloyd Valberg, Ng was one of two athletes from Singapore selected to represent Malaya at their first British Empire Games in Auckland. He was eliminated from the 400-meter hurdles heats following similar issues at the London Olympics.
The highlight of Ng's career came when he was selected in the Singapore contingent for the inaugural Asian Games in New Delhi. On 10 March 1951, he won Singapore's first medal in athletics when he came in third in the 400-meter hurdles. He followed the medal with a win in the 110-meter hurdles in a time of 15.2 s to clinch one of Singapore's five medals at the Games.
In May 1951, Ng shaved 0.4 s off Valberg's Malayan record and improved on his Asian Games time with 15.1 s in the 110-meter hurdles. He was ineligible for the 1952 Summer Olympics as he had represented China at the previous Olympics.
In December 1972, Ng joined the national coaching set-up, mentoring the national hurdlers, including 1967 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games gold medalist Heather Merican, for the 1973 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games, which Singapore hosted.

## Personal life

Ng married fellow athlete Lim Sian Heng in 1960. The couple have four sons – Christopher, Andrew, Thomas, Augustine.
Ng died of throat cancer on 5 September 1992.
# Israel Shumacher

Israel Shumacher (or Schumacher, 1908 – May 21, 1961) was a Jewish comedian who worked together with Shimon Dzigan, thus forming "Dzigan and Shumacher", one of the most famous Yiddish comic duos in the 20th century.

## Biography

Israel Shumacher first met Shimon Dzigan at the Yiddish experimental kleynkunst (cabaret) stage of the theater Ararat in Łódź, Poland.
During Second World War, the duo went through forced labor in the Gulag, escaped from the Soviet Union and fled from Europe to Israel. The duo played themselves at Poland's Yiddish language feature made in 1948 called "Unzere kinder", the first feature film about the Holocaust in Poland ever made where they played themselves. They also had a TV show that ran during the 1970s. For example, to explain Einstein theory of relativity with their own brand of humor, one would explain to the other « If you have seven hairs in your soup, it's a lot. If you have seven hairs on your head, it's very little. That's relativity ».
The duo's TV and live performance was Yiddish satire that focused on their experience in the Gulag, fleeing Europe, and their experience as new immigrants to Israel.

# Allan Rae (cricketer)

Allan Fitzroy Rae (30 September 1922 – 27 February 2005) was a Jamaican cricketer who played as a batsman. Rae featured in 15 Test matches between 1948 and 1953 for the West Indies cricket team.

## Early Days

Rae attended Wolmer's Schools. In June 1988 he was celebrated on the $4 Jamaican stamp alongside the Barbados Cricket Buckle.

## Test career

Allan Rae was a specialist batsman, who made just over 1,000 Test runs in his five-year career, including four centuries. He also had a famous opening partnership alongside Trinidadian batsman Jeffrey Stollmeyer with the duo averaging a lofty 71 in their 13 tests as a pair. His Test batting average of 46.18 was considerably higher than his first-class average of 39.65, despite his 17 centuries at first-class level and a highest score of 179. He later became president of the West Indies Cricket Board from 1981 to 1988. His father, Ernest Rae, toured England with the West Indies team in 1928.

## Domestic career

Rae was also the first batsman to score a century in each innings of a West Indian first class cricket tournament.
# Richard Henry Major

Richard Henry Major (October 3, 1818 – June 25, 1891) was a geographer and map librarian who curated the map collection of the British Museum from 1844 until his retirement in 1880.

## Biography

Major was born in Shoreditch in 1818 to Richard Major, a surgeon, and his wife Elizabeth. His father died when he was three years old and he was brought up with his elder brother by his paternal grandfather. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School and after working as a clerk joined the British Museum in 1844 under the patronage of Sir Henry Ellis.
In 1847 Major married Sarah Elizabeth Thorn (c.1814–1890), an artist, who worked professionally as both Thorn and Major, illustrating some of her husband's publications. In 1854 he was elected fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and was active in it for the next twenty years. He also became a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in 1845, where he was honorary secretary from 1866 to 1881 and vice-president between 1881 and 1884. From 1849 until 1858, he was the Secretary of the Hakluyt Society.
He was appointed keeper of the newly created department of maps and charts in the British Museum in 1867. Respiratory illness forced him to retire from the museum in 1880 and from active involvement in professional societies soon afterwards. He died on 25 June 1891 at his home, 51 Holland Road, Kensington, and was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery. The headstone on his grave (no.4953) is no longer readable.
Major published a number of books related to maps or documents of historical significance.

# Bruno Winawer

Bruno Winawer (17 March 1883 in Warsaw, Poland – 11 April 1944 in Opole Lubelskie, Poland) was a Jewish-descended Polish physicist, columnist, and author of comedies, science fiction novels, short stories, and poetry.

## Life

Winawer studied physics at the University of Heidelberg, then served at the University of Amsterdam as assistant to Nobel laureate Pieter Zeeman.
In 1917–21 he held an academic post at the Warsaw Polytechnic, in Poland.
Winawer penned popular social comedies, often incorporating scientific themes; columns on science and literature; and science-fiction stories.
In 1921 he acted in the Polish silent film, Pan Twardowski.
Also in 1921, Joseph Conrad translated into English Winawer's short play, The Book of Job. Despite the translation’s shortcomings, Winawer felt pleased with it. But in spite of Conrad's efforts, the play was never staged in England; the translation was published only after Conrad's death.
After the outbreak of World War II, Winawer lived in Lwów, where he served as an assistant to physics Professor Stanisław Loria. In 1941, after the city's occupation by Nazi Germany, Winawer was sent to the Warsaw Ghetto; but in 1942 he managed to escape and lived under an assumed name. Arrested by the Germans, he was sent to the Treblinka concentration camp, but he again managed to escape.
He died on 11 April 1944 in Opole Lubelskie.
