Flooding in Brisbane 1893

This photograph is from a black and white 120 format film negative strip featuring four images by PC Poulsen.

 

This image shows a group of four people standing at a corrugated iron fence, looking across a flooded river. A three-masted vessel can be seen on the river, and many waterfront buildings that are partly submerged. One building is identifiable as 'The People's Cash Store'.
