The National Library of Australia (NLA) holds an album titled 'Souvenir album of Victorian Aboriginals, kings, queens etc.' which is available via the Pictures Reading Room Call Number: PIC Album 30C NK4165.

The images of 'Queen Mary - Ballarat Tribe' (see AA 566/1/3) and 'King Billy and his two wives' (see AA 566/1/8) in the South Australian Museum's album differs from the NLA album which has two entirely different prints although they are titled the same.
