Note: These election poster galleries were compiled in March 2011, before these Government Printing Office glass plate negatives of The Rocks were determined to be part of the Rocks Resumption photographic survey in November 2011.

"Equivalent" painting by Sydney Long 'Argyle Street and Cut' (c.1902, ie after this photo) - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=845145 (Mitchell Library, SLNSW)

I have a strong feeling that someone else painted or etched this view ... anyone know?

beachcomber australia You know (you told me about one of them). See equivalents linked on this photo of the Argyle Cut. The Sydney Long painting is a better match for the one above.

On the corner of Gloucester and Cumberland Streets, where the Australian Hotel now is.

Three (?) years before, in 1898 - Sir William Johnson (1862-1932) "[The Whalers Arms, Gloucester Street, Sydney]" 1898 (NLA) - nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an2265550

Not quite on the corner of Gloucester and Cumberland Street, rather Gloucester and Cumberland Lane (formerly Cribbs Lane). The Australian Hotel is further back to the right of this photo. The Whalers Arms Hotel was across from Susannah Place, as can be seen here where the new YHA development on The Dig Site is. This is my favourite photo of The Whalers Arms, its so evocative. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was operating as a lodging house in 1901. The more things change the more they stay the same!

As we all know there has never been a shortage of hotels in The Rocks!
