This location on Hobson Wharf saw a number of photographers set up their cameras over the years before the area was reclaimed. Click here for a picture by Frederick George Radcliffe, and here for a 1919 Henry Winkelmann picture (together with images showing the photographers' location on Hobson Wharf).
Price had been here before: click here for a picture that he made from a little further north along the wharf some years earlier (before the landing steps seen here were built).
