Charles Bayliss photographed the transformation of Sydney over more than two decades from around the 1880s. Although he advertised himself as a landscape photographer, his specialisation included the built environment, and his subjects were the major city buildings, civic projects and engineering feats of the colonial period
Charles Bayliss, Sydney Harbour with MacBeth boat builder in foreground and Fort Denison in the distance, circa 1880s. NLA
A favourite subject was Sydney Harbour--as evidenced by his panorama of Sydney Harbor. Today the favouite subject is freeways.
