Ernest Eden George, known as Eden George, was born in New South Wales and came to New Zealand as a young man. He made his career in photography and was active in Auckland and Dunedin, but mainly in Christchurch. Entrepreneurial, combative and confrontational, he entered the political scene.

Indeed, in 1906, his was the only photo of all the city's ex mayors that was not on display in the mayor's office.
