Two historic photography collections from Sydney's Powerhouse Museum:
The Tyrell Collection - glass plate negatives from the Sydney studios of Charles Kerry and Henry King from 1884-1917 depicting a local record of the times; and the Hedda Morrison Collection - photographs from China, 1933-1946. The collection also includes personal papers and objects, such as Chinese papercuts, belt toggles, and photos from a 1930s-era folk festival in Germany.
Description: Dress accessory, toggle in the shape of two young boys playing :)
Thank you for this, very nice!

And when I was there they had on loan William Stanley Jevons' Logic Piano, an 1869 mechanical calculator for simple inferential logic. Early computing!
