    The reference to "Castlereagh Street" (on the street sign on the corner) is confusing. It is obviously the back of the Lands Department Building at the corner of Bent St and what is now Loftus St. It turns out that Loftus St used to be called Castlereagh St (they are aligned); also Young St used to be called Elizabeth St. See this 1858 interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm1272-sd&rgn=0... Since only the northern section of the Lands Department Building is finished here, I would put the date at c.1885. See - www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/4057365692/

    Thank you for the information about the changes in street names. We will amend the date to c.1885.

    It looks as if she's binding a sheaf of corn with a twist of straw.
  • skillful north said:
    no corn there. It's all wheat or oats or some other grain.
  • Retired at last said:
    Definitely not oats and probably not barley, not maize, but corn.
  • Beth said:
    She reminds me of The Gleaners, by Jean Francois Millet
  • Retired at last said:
    You can see how, when the sheaves are tied like this, it was worth Ruth going to glean ears of corn after the reapers. (Ruth 2:2-3)
