Summary

Description

Taken from inside a flat at 'Wyldefel Gardens', Macleay Street, Potts Point, this photo captures some of the essential features of modern living in Sydney in 1940. A family dressed in the latest summer styles looks over the curved lines of the art deco windows and veranda at a sun-drenched harbour. The photo’s wonderful balance of light and shadow is enhanced by the composition, with its careful placement of the statue and the girl on the balcony. by Walkabout photographer from glass negative presented by Leisure magazine on behalf of the Australian National Travel Association, 1979 State Library of New South Wales ON 425/Box 4 collection.sl.nsw.gov.au/record/nZNvLzvn/qePveeQ742LwZ
