Otto von Hartitzsch was one of the best known and prolific photographers in South Australia between 1866 and 1883, however his life is shrouded in mystery. He is first mentioned in South Australia in 1866 in business with N.G.A. Hanssen, operating in the southern Fleurieu region. Townsend Duryea, in 1867, makes a statement that this business was started on 29 Aoril 1866 and that he, Duryea, had previously employed von Hartitzsch as an assistant for two years, making his arrival in South Australia some time before 1864. By the end of 1866, von Hartitzsch was in a relationship with Elizabeth Jackson, although no record of marriage seems to exist. Between February 1867 and May 1867, von Hartitzsch and Hanssen were operating in Kapunda, but the partnership was dissolved and von Hartitzsch was next seen with his own company in Rundle Street in February 1868. Meanwhile Elizabeth had given birth to their first child, Ida, in August 1867. Three more children followed: Albert in 1869, Frederick in 1871, and Annie in 1875. During this time the family lived in Barnard Street, North Adelaide, and Elizabeth referred to herself as Mrs von Hartitzsch. | |||
By 1877, the relationship had broken down and Elizabeth left for Melbourne with three children (2 boys and a girl), though no record of death for a daughter seems to exist. | |||
