Description: Size: 107 x 154 mm The triangular park, known as Beasley Reserve, at the corner of Victoria Park looking rather more formally tended than it is today. There is a lawn surrounded by well-stocked flower beds edged with rocks, another flower bed in the centre and a number of white-painted garden seats. The shirt-sleeved gardener is either mowing the grass or leaning on his spade. Victoria Park is surrounded by a high picket fence topped by a barbed wire extension and there are several eucalypts growing within the fence. There is a good view of the houses in Bath Street and the chimney of the Saunders Malt Extract factory in Trenerry Crescent is visible in the background.
