    I like old photographs like this. Although a snapshot, this shot has photographic quality: nice posing, perfect crop and low DOF!!! (I found this accidently on flickr)

    I think the two men at left are in prison garb, and the man at right is in guard's or warder's uniform.

    When looking at the associated photograph www.flickr.com/photos/nypl/3109284623/in/set-721576109675...

    I wondered why they were flicking the dust onto the books carefully laid on the ground, but now I see that they are using a type of vacuum device with a brush head.

    We can see the hose attached to the head, and extending behind the men at right.

    Hi, this photo has been mentioned in a discussion thread in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!

    I seldom see dust in libraries. Is that mainly because of ventilation systems? Or do they still literally dust the shelves?

    This image has been used in Rob Ketcherside's indicommons.org 'Across the Commons' post Clean Up Yer Mess. (When I worked in libraries, we read the shelves, but I don't think we every dusted them.)

SS ZEPHYR possibly on Swan River, Western Australia

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  • Nev said:
    There are a lot of online photos of SS Zephyr at the State Library of Western Australia. I have found many newspaper references on the Trove website as well. Zephyr operated on the Swan River well into the late 1930s it would seem. As well as operating as an excursion ferry on the Swan, it also made regular trips to Rottnest Island. Remarkably in February 1908 there is a detailed account of an ocean excursion from Perth to Rockingham, which is some 45 km south of Perth on the coast trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/77335752

    The SS Zephyr operated regularly to Rottenest Island and later Garden Island until the 1960's. It eventually sank or was scuttled in the mouth of the Canning River. Rowan Holgate

    SS Zephyr was built in Brisbane and eventually steamed to Fremantle.

    Rowan Holgate Thanks Rowan - by any chance did you have a connection with the vessel? If so, it would good to follow-up with you. You can email web@anmm.gov.au if you'd like to pass on any other information directly. We love hearing about personal stories.
