Historical information

This photograph is estimated to have been taken between 1920 and 1950. The physical print is a small black-and-white photograph mounted onto a thick calendar card format. The dynamic motion blur in the foliage indicates it was shot on a handheld consumer or early professional field camera with a shutter speed not quite fast enough to freeze the movement in the leaves. In the foreground, the hand-split timber fence posts paired with basic wire strands are highly characteristic of early-to-mid 20th-century Australian farming properties.
