Description of No. 1

This photo shows the city proper, as seen from a point above New Farm. The full length of Queen Street stretches along the left margin, with the Custom House in the foreground, and the extreme end of Victoria Bridge in the background. Next to the right comes Adelaide Street, then Ann Street, with the Central Station showing in the centre. Wickham Terrace forks off to the right of the Station, and winds its sinuous way up the hill past the Observatory, leaving Wickham Park and the Roma Street Railway Market Sheds on the left. The white roadway running diagonally across the right corner is Boundary Street, and Leichhardt Street branches off from it in a curve to the left. The first street running across the picture is Wharf Street. It is visible running from Queen Street up to Leichhardt Street. The street running up at the far end of the station is Edward Street. Following this is Albert Street. Then comes Roma Street branching off from Ann Street and running past the Markets. The Brisbane River is also visible in the top left hand corner.
