About This Item
Ballarat, Victoria: Richards & Co., Sturt Street, 1885. Very good overall. A strong image of a handsome young man, in dark uniform with brass buttons, his cap bearing the initials "E. T.". We would have thought he was possibly a conductor on the Ballarat Electric Tram, but it was not electrified until 1905, and the photograph is earlier. 2 3/8 x 3 1/2" albumen photograph on 2 1/2 x 4" card stock. Photographers gilt imprint below photograph "Richards & Co Sturt Street, Ballarat". Card rubbed at corners, sml strip of adhesive remnant at top of card back. Very bright image.
