Flooded Brisbane streets 1893

This photograph is from a black and white 120 format film negative strip of four images. Most of the images in the same collection are taken by P C Poulsen from a collection of photographic negatives of original glass plate images from the 1890s-1930s.

 

In this photograph a horse-drawn buggy can be seen in the middle of a flooded street with three men standing on it. There are two men, waist deep in water, standing in front of the horse.
