Description:
Two photographs of houses, not dated. Print 155: Mr Grundy's cottage, Shell Cove, near Sydney; Print 156: Our cottage from the beach, Double Bay. The photographs are 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. Jevons lodged with his colleague Francis Bowyer Miller in Miller's cottage at Double Bay. 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.
