Another series of candid snapshots of people out and about... this time in the 19th century [c. 1885-1890, actually; I averaged], and Sydney, Australia! The State Library of New South Wales, from which these are drawn, states these are probably taken with a hidden camera-- even better, eh?

Wow! They are amazing! I love 19th century clothing, but I feel so sorry for those ladies wearing all those layers in hot weather! I love the photo with the duck pulling a small cart, though do feel sorry for the duck!! :)
Fabulous inspiration for dressing in 1880s style on the Sydney streets, so familiar and so alien all at once, thanks!
