    Frederick Joyner was one of Adelaide’s leading amateur pictorialist photographers, pictorialism being a style which often used soft focus and romanticised subject matter to create a painterly aesthetic. Similar to his fellow pictorialists, Joyner often used his children as models.

     

    Molly Joyner, the artist’s daughter, was a model for Jack and Jill, which was exhibited at the South Australian Photographic Society exhibition in 1907, where one of the thematic categories for entries was ’nursery rhymes’.
