City of shadows: Sydney police photographs, 1912-1948

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

Casts a fascinating light on the shadowy underworld of Sydney in the years between the two world wars. The uncompromising truthfulness of the photos, and the diligence, humility and artfulness used in their manufacture gives them a paradoxically tonic quality. There are horrors here, but delights too.
