Peter Dombrovskis (2 March 1945 – 28 March 1996) was an Australian photographer, known for his Tasmanian scenes. In 2003 he was posthumously inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame, the first Australian photographer to reach this milestone. His most famous photograph was Morning Mist, Rock Island Bend, Franklin River, which some commentators believe played a part in the victory for Bob Hawke in the 1983 federal election. The photograph portrayed a section of the Franklin River which was to be submerged by the proposed Franklin Dam and spearheaded the visual appeal of the Franklin River in the contentious ‘No Dams’ campaign of 1982. #1018R (Blank folded A4 sheet tipped to inside cover.)
