  Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee was in 1897. Or is it the Golden Jubilee in 1887? Thinking of the ghosting ... And where? Sydney?

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia hmmm I'm a bit perplexed by this one. I'm inclined to think it's 1897 based on the women's clothing which looks later than 1887. But can't be certain as to where this photograph was taken.

  TaaDaa! Melbourne May 1901 - Queen's Arch, Collins Street -

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Nice one! We've tidied the records for both of these :)

• beachcomber australia said:

  Something slightly odd - Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901, a few months before this. I am surprised that the arch is not draped in black mourning material. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria#Death_and_succession
