    Very strong and personalized photographs. An important documentation and good quality photo.
  • optimal chicken said:
    These old criminal images always fascinate me. The images reveal a lot of details in their faces and I always attempt to match a modern-days family to their image...

    Certainly not the run of the mill mug shot. More like he's waiting for the next barber chair to open up.
  • kmeccat said:
    wow..he's only 17 ?!
  • Elizabeth Jay said:
    kmeccat there were much younger "criminals" than this lad here. I think I'm right in assuming the youngest at this institution was an 11 year old little girl

    I've just looked him up in the 1861 census, he lived at Askern Railway Station, his father was the station master.

    Wonderful panorama dated January 1871 (see note). I think the photo was originally made for an album sent to the Colonial Office in London, showing the achievements in NSW. That went into the National Archives UK who have also posted their version on Flickr, which happily includes all the ships' names! See - And the three individual photos which make up the panorama -
  • beachcomber australia said:
    It should be relatively simple to find out which day in January 1871 this was using Trove. About 10 or 11am by the warehouse shadows on the right!
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Hmm - That's not going to work. All the named ships were at Circular Quay wharfs on the 20th and 27th January 1871, ie for at least a week. See these excellent SMH alphabetical lists of "Vessels in Harbour" - 20 Jan 1871 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13216860 27 Jan 1871 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13218966 And all the ships except 'Chance' were there the previous week - 13 Jan 1871 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13221911

    beachcomber australia Well aren't I glad I posted this pic. Thanks for identifying the connection, its so great we can name all the vessels so accurately! The SLNSW has the same photograph, attributed to Charles Percy Pickering. It's not cropped & looks like it has the ships names pencilled beneath.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons I had a feeling it was by Charles Pickering, or at least attributed to him. He was probably under the direction of James Barnet, the NSW Colonial Architect. The date "Jan 1871" on this version makes it extra special! I wonder where the original glass plate negatives are? Probably buried in State Records NSW Series 4481 with completely odd titles ...
