John Hall & Co.

The Macleay Museum's collection has approximately 600 aerial photographs of Sydney on glass plate negatives taken by John Hall & Co. c1932. These images range from Newcastle to Goulburn. Most of the images however focus on the city center of Sydney and its nearest suburbs. These images because of the size of the glass plates are often able to provide a high level of detail when blown up.
