National Wool MuseumPhotograph, Shearing Sheep, New South Wales, Australia
Photo depicts the interior of a shearing shed with shearing taking place. The shed is located in New South Wales and this photo would appear to date from the turn of the century. Presumably the Philadelphia Museum inscription on the front indicates that either this photo is from their collection (unlikely) or that it was commissioned by them for selling / distribution.Photograph, 'Shearing Sheep', 1900-10 (Philadelphia Museum).
