8 August 1898 - "VIEW OF GEELONG WHARF", Geelong, Victoria, Australia (restored & colorized version)

IMAGE INFO
- Viewpoint appears to be looking south-east from the old steam-packet wharf at Corio as wharfies unload heavy sacks of coal & other goods from a passenger/cargo steam packet sailing ship docked at the wharf & load them onto assembled horse-drawn drays .
- Note the young boys playing around in the work zone (one with bare feet on a wooden beam) - an unimaginable possibility given today's health & safety rules & regulations!

PROCESS INFO
- I downloaded a Hires copy of the digitized original from the SLV collection (the original glass plate image was very badly faded).
- Using Adobe Photoshop CS Windows, I cropped the image copy for much better framing & to remove the badly faded edge sections, improved image sharpness, removed numerous artifacts & applied a sepia duo-tone curve for much improved contrast & tone range. Later applied colorization courtesy of MyHeritage In Color site.
