Summary
| Description |
English: Street scene -- King William Street, Adelaide, circa 1885. Taken from the corner of Hindley Street and King William Street, looking south, it shows horse drawn-cabs waiting in the street and three horse trams on tracks down the middle. The building with a sign "J.G. Rowell" is on the corner of Grenfell Street. In the distance is the tower of the Adelaide town hall. (The two white lines leading from the bottom left corner of the image have been drawn in to represent tram tracks, but the dark strips over which they are drawn are a wet road surface left by water carts used to suppress dust; the second track is seen between the trams and the shops.) |

The image originates in a low-resolution download available free of charge from the State Library of South Australia website (see “Source”). The library's web page states that a higher-resolution image (size 24 MB) is available for purchase from them. I cropped the image, improved some exposure and contrast values and removed some blemishes, dust and chemical marks before uploading to Wikimedia Commons. The image with original faults can be downloaded from the SLSA website cited above.
