Queen Victoria's Jubilee decorations in Macquarie Street

  • beachcomber australia said:
    Was this for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887 (20th June), or the Diamond Jubilee 1897?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    It must have been for the Diamond Jubilee in 1897, because the statue was not unveiled until 1888.

    Post 1933 ? - see R class tram, having a corridor style instead of toastrack - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Sydney#Rolling_stock

    I wonder if the photo was taken from the top of the David Jones Elizabeth Street store (opened 1927) ?
  • Luc said:
    RE: DJ's Elizabeth street store, look like a likely scenario, unless they used some kind of crane for this shot.

    Queen Victoria Statue unveiled 1888, The Centenary. No sign of King Street cable tram lines in front, which suggests before 1894. Interesting to compare with a wonderful contemporary Henry King photo of Victoria and Albert. There is even a pukka gent gazing adoringly at The Queen in both photos - Amazing zoom detail - from.ph/30794, including the lamps and bollards in need of a paint, which suggests they are not brand new. ie closer to 1894 than 1888.
