CRAFT WORKERS IN PERIOD COSTUME
1979 - 1985Colour photo of two ladies in period costume working with flowers at a small table - both long dresses with white aprons, one has mop cap.
Lady on right is cutting with secateurs.
Caravan in background with blue tarpaulin on side, cardboard box on ground with rubbish.
Unknown occasion. Assumed to have been for a community celebration such as the Moondyne Festival (first held in 1984), due to the colonial costumes being worn.
The photograph quality - colour shifts, warm tones & slight grain texture - is a hallmark trait of late 1970s colour film prints and matches other photos from this time period in the museum collection. The vehicle in the background appears to be a classic 1970s-era aluminium touring caravan, featuring the characteristic boxy profile and multi-paned widow styling of the era.
