Book
Fetching the Wallaroo at the end of her commission
-
First edition. An attractive original albumen photograph of the dredger Wallaroo. This was a 150 tonne Iron Screw Steamer that was built in the Clyde shipyard (London Works ) by the Scottish ship builder William Simons & Co. Ltd. A hand written note to the top edge (quite faint) states that the image was taken when the Wallaroo was at the end of her commission. This was in 1888. The image is an albumen photograph (14.5cm x 20cm) in excellent condition pasted onto a backing board which is printed as Davies & Co. of King Street, Sydney. Photograph is clean and tidy. The backing board is a little stained and has marking to the top edge. Chip to the top left corner of the backing board. A scarce item, we cannot find another copy of this photograph available. Card is 25.5cm x 30cm. .
