Reflections on Norman Creek, ca. 1890 Size:19 x 25 cm (A4) Lake Burley GriffinCreator Poul C. Poulson (1857 1925) Date 1890 Rare photos of bustling Brisbane in the horse and cart days of the 1890's, including the Great Flood of 1893. The architecture is wonderful, as is the liveliness of the street scenes with pedestrians, trams, stage coaches and colonials in top hats and bowlers. Source: State Library of Queensland
