Fancy dress, yes. But dressed as what? Fortune teller? Gypsy? Native American? What else?

ah

Is that roadkill under her feet? If so, why does it have a pot plant on its head? (We'll probably never know, of course.)

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Standing portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

@ lifeasdaddy, Hippie maybe? =)

Fascinating! I thought Menangle, but it is not. Mr Hall must have been on another bridge. Or ship. Hmmm ...

beachcomber australia This one's a challenge. I thought perhaps it was Meadowbank on the Parramatta River, but this bridge isn't long enough. Will tag you again if we crack it!

beachcomber australia Ah, nostalgia ...

Wellington railway bridge over the Macquarie River. See Government Printing Office photo: @SLNSW - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=201398 (Feb. 1944) @SRNSW - investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/asp/photosearch/photo.asp... (undated) Nice to date a photo in the process of identifying another! I've passed on the date to Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection The British lattice girder bridge was the standard for major railway bridges in NSW in the Whitton era (until 1890).

pellethepoet BRILLIANT ! btw date of photo? 1890s? Who would have thought Wellington? The railway arrived in 1880. And this bridge is still used - "The town is served by twice a day the daily Countrylink XPT service which runs between Sydney and Dubbo and return. The train stops heading to Dubbo at 12:58pm and heading to Sydney at 2:47pm." [from Wikipedia] GoogleMapsStreetView - looking a bit rusty after 133 years.

This is Lyndhurst, a Gothic Revival mansion begun in 1838 and expanded in 1864-65. Alexander Jackson Davis was the architect. Financier Jay Gould bought it as a summer home in 1880. After his death it became the home of his eldest daughter, Helen, and, on Helen's death, his younger daughter Anna took charge of the property. Anna left Lyndhurst to the National Trust for Historic Preservation on her death in 1961. Today it is a museum. Lyndhurst web site. Edit: The web site New York Social Diary provides this extensive page featuring many modern photographs of Lyndhurst and its grounds.

Whyaduck: thank you for the information about Lyndhurst. We will add this identification and reload the description.
