Highlight from the Commons on Flickr


A pioneer settler, Kerry and Co, Sydney, Australia, c. 1905-1917. This image shows a family living near Dorrigo in New South Wales. The photo library was contacted a while ago regarding this image from a member of the public who knew about the people in the image. We received some great information from this person including that there were actually four children in the family and not three. The other child is leaning against the chimney at the back left hand side of the image. We didn’t notice this until we zoomed in to reveal the fourth child. You can see this on a larger version from our selection of images the Commons Project on Flickr.
