These two images have been taken from the same vantage point in Manly looking south towards the headland. The image on the left comes from our Tyrrell photographic collection titled ‘Manly from Kangaroo Hill, looking south’. This particular image was uploaded to the Commons project on Flickr back in March this year. The second image on the right comes from our smaller Phillips photographic collection of glass plate negatives titled ‘Manly Beach with St Patricks on hill’. This image was uploaded recently to the Commons and one of our dedicated members noticed the two images had been taken from the same vantage point and has made some notes about the differences between the two that reveal the Tyrrell image was taken after the Phillips.
If you know this vantage point or have a contemporary image that matches the location of these old glass plate negative images, we would love to know about it. You could also post an image in our Tyrrell Today group on Flickr matching up with the Tyrrell reproduction.
Both images have no known copyright restrictions.
