    At 1.56 in, I have grave doubts that is a 'South Australian volunteer in the 1860's', as he is wearing a Napoleonic French Imperial Guard Uniform.

    You have Mr Sydney Skukerman (5:05) listed as a wife killer. Intrigued, I detoured off in search of his story, only to find the following according to Trove, 'Special Photograph no. 17A. An entry in the Supplement to the NSW Police Gazette Sydney for Skukerman, (alias Kukarman, alias Cecil Landan) is captioned 'obtains goods from warehousemen by falsely representing that he is in business'. This picture is one of a series of around 2500 "special photographs" taken by New South Wales Police Department photographers between 1910 and 1930. These "special photographs" were mostly taken in the cells at the Central Police Station, Sydney and are, as curator Peter Doyle explains, of "men and women recently plucked from the street, often still animated by the dramas surrounding their apprehension".
    Other than that, what a terrific collection!

    Electric Trams - Sydney. NO. The Scene is Cable Trams - Underground Cable was picked up by a Grabber and pulled along. Hence 2 Rails and Central Gap in the Roadway. Sydney had only 2 Lines for Cable because they preffered Steam until Overhead Electricity was made available.

  • @Baskerville22
    @Baskerville22 Před 10 dny +8

    At 2.48 - "Electric trams, King St, Sydney 1899" seems incorrect to me.
    The "trams" are clearly cable-drawn vehicles. Note the absence of overhead electricity-bearing wires and the centre gap between the 2 tram-tracks by which the attaching rod can descend and grip the moving cable
    I also have grave doubts about "South Australian Volunteer in 1860s" at 1.58. He looks to be in European military garb....and I can assure you that no "volunteer" army in Australia in the mid-19th century could afford that quality of uniform. AND if they could, they would be laughed at whenever they made an appearance. More chance of him being an Austrian soldier than an Australian soldier.

    Two things the victorians did well. They knew what good architecture was and knew how to dress well no matter what the event. Smart was the norm. I wish we still wore corsets. It might stop individuals from becoming obese. Then again, people worked harder in that era, so being obese was rare to see. In young women, at least.

      No, people didn’t have shopping centres and take aways etc, food was hard won. A roast or such was a luxury on Sundays etc. Sugary foods weren’t as plentiful. We’re rich in comparison, we can get whatever we want when we want. Nothing to do with working hard. Well to do people often got fat from luxurious living. And not everyone was well dressed, poverty was worse for many back then, cholera and dysentery commonplace, no such thing as the good old days. 😅

    7:09 the colour of the basic WWI uniform for Australian troops (and the British) was khaki, not blue as shown here.
    While artistic licence is fine for most of these colourisations, I think in the case of military uniforms which are historically recognisable, the authentic colour looks more realistic, as well as showing respect.
