Overview

This black and white group potrait features the Subiaco Municipal Council's 'outside staff', all men, arranged in four rows. The men are all dressed in suits and ties.
Interestingly the makeshift nature of these rows is indicated by the various chair legs, over which a plank has been placed to create the first row, and crates give elevation to the back row. The bottom background cloth is also evident in the photograph.
The photograph is mounted into a grey card mount which is attached to a folded card cover. On the front of this cover is handwritten, in pencil, 'COUNCIL OUTSIDE STAFF 1925-6'.
