This photo is slightly earlier judging by the vegetation.

The trees and vegetation had grown up considerably by 1907 when Arthur Streeton painted "Sydney Harbour from Penshurst (Cremorne)" - commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Arthur_Streeton_-_Sydney_Harbour_from_Penshurst_(Cremorne)_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg - click through to large size. Original at AGNSW.

pellethepoet Indeed! But the GoogleArtProject version is sooo much higher-res! You can almost see what Arthur had for lunch!

LeoLondon: Thank you for your comment! It does appear based on captions of other images of Hardinge in our collections that you have identified Baron Hardinge correctly. He was a British diplomat and lived from 1858 to 1944. We will add a bit more information when we update the record. Harry Angstrom: This Hardinge is in fact Charles Hardinge, 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst, 1858-1944. Other captioned photos of him in our non-digitized holdings confirm his identity. Thank you for your comment as well!
