These appear to have been common practice around that time. The National Library of Ireland had a similar shot of a similar triumphal archway that looked just like that without the sun:-)

Thanks Swordscookie! Any ideas National Library of Ireland on The Commons?
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Ahoy, yes! This is the photo that Swordscookie means, I'd imagine - erected to celebrate the 1903 visit of Edward VII to Dublin. In the course of research, as is their wont, our Flickroonies discovered this 1900 arch, erected for Queen Victoria's 1900 visit...

Edward Hunt built ‘Hampton Villa’ in the 1840s. Henry Parkes was Premier up to 1891, while a tenant in the house. He severely injured his leg in a riding fall in 1889 and could not travel, hence a number of NSW Government Cabinet meetings were held at Hampton Villa. A watercolour of Johnstons Bay Balmain, by George Halsted c1870 - Hampton Villa lies at the top of the rise: slnsw: acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=456536 and a photo 1870s: slnsw: acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=63515
