Description:
Print 102: Mr Grundy's cottage, Shell Cove near Sydney, bush in distance, fruit-bearing passion flower. The photograph is in a collection of photographs of Australia, taken or compiled by William Stanley Jevons during the 1850s. Between 1854-1859 Jevons was employed as assayer at the Sydney mint and also carried out detailed social surveys of the city's slums. Grundy was a civil engineer from Manchester, not connected with the Mint, but already established in Sydney when Jevons arrived. Jevons had a reference of introduction to him from his father, a Unitarian connection.
