Circa 1923 - "COMO", Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (restored duo-toned version)

IMAGE INFO
- This large panorama is centered looking east across Scylla Bay & Green Point (located in what would become the suburb of Oyster Bay) from the northern end of Como Parade.
- The Georges River height is at about mid-tide.
- A link to an associated image taken at the same time by large format glass plate photographer Rex Hazlewood is attached in the comments area.
*************************************
SOURCE INFO
- The original image used for my version is a panorama of Como (multiple large format 16.5 x 21.5 cm glass plate negatives combined - see link to SLNSW pano viewer here:
dxlab.sl.nsw.gov.au/pano-scope/view.php?p=3&fr=9999). It is found in "Series 03 - Panoramic negatives of Sydney and surrounding suburbs, 1921-1925, Rex Hazlewood Collection", freely available online from the Mitchell & SLNSW, which shows significant areas of poor exposure & is very badly faded for the most part.
- The primary source of information for the original panorama (but only showing a low quality placemark image) - is held in the New South Wales State Library online image collection here -
