Overview

A high quality digital scan of an original photograph. The photograph is a sepia image of the house at 39 Nicholson Road in Subiaco. Matilda, Frederick and Roy Sedgley are standing on the footpath outside the home next to a white picket fence. The house is a brick building with a decorative front verandah.
