  Charles Pickering was commissioned to photograph public works for the government architect James Barnet in 1870. The photographs themselves were intended for display at the London Exhibition of 1873; Pickering was previously engaged as the official photographer to the Metropolitan Intercolonial Exhibition of 1870. Photographers such as Charles Nettleton and the firm of Cox & Luckin were given similiar commissions in Melbourne as photography played an increasingly important role in the work of government departments. (The collection is on the State Libray of N.S.W. database. This database has a facility to view photographs in a high quality resolution which is really the best way to view the photographs - because of size constraints I will post a link to the high resolution version beneath each photograph).

  I Think it is called a Billhook and it is used for hedging on the farm

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Mick Huett Thank you! It certainly looks like a Billhook if these images are anything to go by...

• Brian Mulligan said:

  They could easily be father and son, check the eyes and mouth similarities. A nice photograph especially considering when it was taken!

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Brian Mulligan Perhaps you're right - they could well be father and son...
