Six vintage full-plate gelatin silver photographs (each approximately 165 x 220 mm, uncut paper size) of Townsville. Uncredited and undated, but from internal evidence, probably 1890s

All six images show different aspects of the rapidly developing township, including the central business district, the Ross River precincts, Fountain's Jetty with part of the Queen's Hotel, North Beach, and Castle Hill and its surroundings. Expert conservation to a few short edge tears and one corner; one photograph is creased down the centre and has been backed with acid-free paper; some light foxing; overall an excellent suite of rich sepia-toned images.
