127 Kerry & Co. Harbour from North Sydney (from Holtermann's Tower), c.1908/1920s. Two-panel panorama, silver gelatin prints, titled, numbered "22" and signed "Kerry Sydney" in the plate lower right, 37.5 x 114.5cm. Linen backed. Places are noted as follows, left to right: Darling Harbour, Goat Island, Berry's Bay, Long Nose Point, Biloela, Parramatta River, Lane Cove River. The panels of this panorama are unequal in size. The panorama was probably taken with the 40cm Cirkut camera imported by Kerry c.1908, "the introduction of which cased great interest in Sydney photographic circles" (David P. Millar, Charles Kerry's Federation Australia, David Ell Press 1981). The studio photographer was most likely Willem van der Velden, who used the camera to document the arrival of the American Fleet in 1908. "Assisted by young Robin Cale, Van used the Cirkut to record panoramas of Sydney from every lofty vantage point." The vantage point would have been Holtermann's Tower on the site of what is now Shore School at the top of Blue Street, North Sydney. |
