Ted Ryko was on Goulburn Island between 1 December 1916 and 4 January 1917 and missionary Constance Amy Corfield noted that he took a number of photographs (MS 45 Amy Corfield Diary [copy typescript]). Ryko's granddaughter positively identified the writing in the corner "Ryko Photo/ - Copyright - Service At Goulburn/ Island Mission Stn/ N.T." as consistent in style and context with other items known to be taken by Ryko.
