This photograph shows Bella Lavender (then Bella Halloran) with her young son, Henry Marco.
After teaching in Ballarat, Bella Guerin married Henry Halloran, a poet and public servant in Sydney. Halloran was the son of notoriously irascible schoolmaster Laurence Hynes Halloran, and was then 80 years of age. Halloran died shortly after Bella gave birth to their son and Bella returned to teach in Melbourne.
