Jessie’s Mug Shot
This photo (1913) at Darlinghurst Prison, shows more neckline and her clothing. People did not smile for photos in those days, as they needed to stay very still for a long time, while the image was captured. Nevertheless you can see quite a determined look!
NSW State Library – Nice Beards Gentlemen
Recently went on a Research Recce to NSW to check out the private box of research there on the Lady Bushranger, deposited by author Pat Studdy-Clift.
I was surprised at how good looking Andy Black was. During a severe winter he invited Jessie off the mountain to his hut and then roped her into his cattle stealing enterprise. Andy is in the centre of the photo below. There is information out now, that he fathered a child with Jessie, who was then raised as a child of Jessie’s brother, Ken Hunt. The decendents of this child Dorothy, are proud of their infamous relative.
