DescriptionThe entrance to Queen’s Park, Queensland’s oldest park. Henry Wade first surveyed Ipswich in 1842, setting aside 80 acres and 32 perches for a public park, recreation ground, and botanic gardens. The park was named after Queen Victoria. (see Queen’s Park Celebration, Souvenir Edition by Ipswich City Council, Sunday 9 October 1994) It is thought that the gentlemen with the umbrella might be photographer Benjamin Taylor, of I.X.L. Studios. His wife, Laura, was also a photographer, and ran her own portrait studio in Ipswich, alongside Taylor’s I.X.L. Studio.
