Exploring Martin Place

Exploring Martin Place, originally uploaded by Powerhouse Museum.

This is another one of the video experiments that we have been showing on Photo of the Day. This one utilises an image from the Tyrrell photographic collection titled Martin Place. The original glass plate negative was photographed sometime between 1884 and 1917 and shows a very different Martin Place to what we see today. See if you can spot the man looking over the fence at something during this video experiment. What would he be looking at?

About Photo of the Day

The Powerhouse Museum's Photo of the Day blog features a new image each day, chosen from the Powerhouse Photo Library.

The majority of these images have been taken by Museum photographers for a variety of purposes such as use in exhibitions and publicity, and to record the many aspects and activities of the Museum - from public events, programs and exhibitions to behind-the-scenes and location shots. We also highlight certain photographic objects from our collection.

The licensing of each image varies however we are trying to release as many as possible under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.1 license.
