Over c.1873-1874, using the slow and laborious wet-plate collodion process Lindt produced photographs of the local indigenous people both in their environment and conducting actual traditional ceremonies in the Clarence River district, and in his studio. In the latter, the subjects, set in elaborate recreations of natural environment, clothed traditionally, and surrounded by implements, are the more compositionally controlled because Lindt was able to prepare and process his plates with the necessary complex chemistry close at hand in his darkrooms. His prints were contact-printed from huge 20 x 16 inch (50.8 cm x 40.64 cm) wet plate negatives. Twelve of this series is included his 1874 album "Australian Aboriginals". Also during his Grafton years, from 1869-1876, Lindt produced "Australian Types" (c.1873-1874); and "Characteristic Australian Scenery" (1875) commissioned by the New South Wales Government for the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. The albums include fastidiously composed and exposed images such as "The Artist's Camp (Near Wintervale)" (1875) and "Tower Hill Creek", N.S.W. (1875) each meticulously printed, qualities he maintained in his imagery henceforth.
