    This photo seems to be later due to the 1890 Metropole Hotel, not seen in the Henry King photo.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Hi folks - thanks for all your comments & additional information. It is great to see similar images from other collections. And being able to narrow the date down to a few years is fantastically helpful! Thanks again!

From the bridge - looking over Dawes Point

  • beachcomber australia said:
    I wonder if this was taken by the same photographer (Ted Hood) who did this six months earlier - www.flickr.com/photos/statelibraryofnsw/3447212244/
  • beachcomber australia said:
    The steam paddle wheel horse / vehicle ferry (between Dawes Point and Milsons Point) could be either the 'Benelon' 1885 - www.ferriesofsydney.com/benelon.html or the 'Barangaroo' 1889 - www.ferriesofsydney.com/barangaroo.html
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Thanks for adding these links, beachcomberaustralia - particularly the one describing Ted Hood hanging upside down to take his photograph! It's hard to say who took the images in this series as they are uncredited.

    Curiouser and curiouser - the connection between Mr Hall and Henry King ...
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Hmm these photos are increasingly (and suspiciously) taken from the same spots! Wish there were as many Hall & Co records as there are photos!
