Exploring ‘Two women boxing’, originally uploaded by Powerhouse Museum.

This is another one of our video experiments Jean-Francois has been producing from reproductions of glass plate negatives that have been loaded into the Commons on Flickr. This short video is made up of details from this image ’Two women boxing’that comes from the Phillips photographic collection.

The original image was taken at Freshwater in Sydney in 1895. This collection of glass plate negatives was acquired by the Museum in the 1980s and appears to have been made by a Sydney based photographic studio from around 1880 through to 1920.
