Shoe polish box from the FF Dalley Co.; Frederick Fenner Dalley (d. 1884) was a Canadian businessman who ran a drugstore in Hamilton ONT, before setting up a factory to make shoe polish and other products in the 1850s. The business continued under his name and his sons' stewardship into the 1900s, making ink, baking powder, dye, flavorings, and yes, shoe polish. In 1925, the company was sold to Shineola.

The original - www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2633077972/ (19,911+ views and 132+ comments so far!) Zoomify at Powerhouse Museum - it was one of a pair of images on the same glass plate - from.ph/379072

This print seems in better condition than the original negative, or is it the contrast levels? eg the man's back is scratched. 1900- 1901 ?

Yes, this print looks better than the inverted (for colour) digital scan taken from the glass plate negative.

The other image -

Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Ahem! It is Princes Street looking SOUTH, not north. Photo Investigator is wrong too.

Date inscribed in reverse on negative: 7/31/13.

Wystan: Thanks for bringing our attention to the date on the negative! We'll add it to the description next time we update.

I wish I knew the relationships between the boys. Their names even. Several of them look like they are from the same family. It's so unusual to see smiling children in early photos. They are adorable.
