Dickson family, Toorak House, Brisbane 1872

from State Library of Queensland

Peter Johnson said:
Your map reference for this image is incorrect. You need to amend it to show the correct site in Annie Street, Hamilton QLD 4007. Currently it shows it as being in the Brisbane CBD!
But what a great image of the Dickson family in all their splendour!
Augustine Mathews said:
Poor Mrs Dickson - 6 sons, 7 daughters!! She must have spent most of her life pregnant. Amazing history!!!
Important Direction said:
Superlativa!!!
Sharyn Merkley said:
Annie Dickson died in 1880, so the photograph was taken before 1910.

Front cover of an advertising booklet for the Jenyns Patent Reducing and Supporting Corset

Advertisement about Jenyn's corsets
Shu Wei Chin said:
It is so incredibly interesting to see the transition in fashion from this advertisement dated 1912. From my perspective, I can see the classic silhouette desired in the Edwardian era (the S curve and soft sloping shoulders), but I also see that the hairstyle resembles the gorgeously curled and crimped short crop popular in the 1920s.

Fast Jim won a race at Albion Park in February 1936 by a length from Arvadown with Yoburn a half a length off third. This could be that finish. See nla.gov.au/nla.news-article70353965
