Chosen View – A Bygone Era

Tuesday I finally got into  the city to visit the  Museum of Brisbane  where they're showcasing a wonderful collection of Glass Slide images of daily life and activities taken by Alfred Henry Elliot, a Brisbane resident and photograher. The collection is called Chosen View.  The glass slides were discovered in 1983 under a house in Red HIll neatly packed in cigar boxes.

    
There were some images of  the voting / polling booths back in 1899.  Considering are elections are the hot topic of the day I thought it very appropriate to put this image first.

Some of  Brisbane's more well known landmarks

And just a little closer to home, the Enoggera Reservoir

There are so many more images to view, but I don't want to spoil it by showing them all to you, it's definitely worth the visit into the Museum of Brisbane at 157 Ann Street, open Monday – Friday, 10.00 am – 5pm
