Lunch In The Bush
c. 1895Sepia print mounted on card. Group of five men and a dog sitting on grass with bush in the background. Two men are holding enamel mugs, another a bottle, and spread in front of them is all the paraphernalia of a bush picnic - plates, billy, iron kettle, portable stove, sugar canister, bottles, boxes, baskets and an opened food tin.
This does not appear to be a leisure activity, but rather lunch while travelling or working in the bush. Possibly relates to period when Raymond Sharkey worked in Esperance/Goldfields region.
