Carrying wool, Sydney

  Figures sitting on top of the bales have been removed from the negative to create a clear skyline above the bales. The lower halves of their bodies can still be seen Could be worthwhile having a good look at the glass plate negative for this one.

  I had some help. It's in a book about Kerry's photographs. Much easier if you know were to look.

  [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good work there! I was fascinated to see that the building was "practically ready for occupation in four months...". They did not hang around in those days. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/71264713

  trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163806654# - the original (non altered) version of this pic appeared in the Sydney Mail on 1st January, 1898. The pic was taken outside Winchcombe Carson's wool store and warehouse in Wattle St, Pyrmont...per the accompanying article the pic was taken on 21st December, 1897, when Sydney carrier J.J. Gilham transported the load seen here from Pyrmont to Moore's Wharf, at Millers Point... The pic was reproduced in several Australian newspapers over the years...but this appears to have been the first publication...
