Alfred Stump

Alfred Augustus Stump (August 1860 – 24 December 1925) was a photographer and businessman born in Hobart, Tasmania, who had a considerable career in Adelaide.

His photographers were kept busy capturing images of sporting teams and notable personalities, which were loaned to newspapers for reproduction (suitably attributed of course) and displayed in shop windows.

[6] Several employees left to form their own businesses: Wherrett & Co. in the Gippsland district was one; John Dunn of the Ideal Studio, 143 Rundle Street in 1907, was another.

[11] He returned to Hobart with at least some of his family in 1908;[12] at some stage he entered into partnership with Victor Lilley as "Vandyck photographers" in Hobart, dissolved January 1910,[13] With the advent of roll film and associated developing and printing businesses, largely associated with the Kodak company, and the growing availability of good quality portable cameras, photography passed into the hands of amateurs and independent professionals; studio photography became the province of small specialists.

[21] James F. Stump (c. 1853 – 24 October 1926), headmaster of Scotch College, Launceston and Hobart city treasurer,[22] was a brother; he shared Alfred's interests in horse racing and Freemasonry.
