Again these two pics are from my grandfathers collection, from the 1920 period, that’s 100 plus years old.
They’re from celluloid negatives, but the subject matter is the highlight. This depicts the method of hauling these monster logs to the mill for processing. The loading method when explained to me, was fascinating. All done by man power & leverage.
The little guy in the first pic, standing on the ground, was Stan Cassidy, a mate of G father. Beautiful pics, all taken with a Kodak Bellows camera, I think the model was like K3 or similar.
Grandfather was Latvian by birth, went to sea as a youngster, but when he met his love, an English rose, they migrated to Australia to raise their son, my dad, & became a farmer when the Timber Mill closed down.

Thank you for posting these images. This is an excellent example of how a photograph of something that was relative common in its day, men working with horses on a logging job and the team itself, is now both a door to our memory and an important part of the the historical record.

I scanned the negatives, taken 100 plus years ago, & developed by my old gran pop.

By celluloid do mean glass cause I have seen very old negatives and they were glass.

A couple of amazing images, the first is outstanding! I love the crispness (typical of well-preserved negs of this type), also the subject matter - those huge haulage wheels, just perfect for the task. I too have a large collection of old negs, mostly glass, and find them fascinating.
