Miss Katherine Hill
A head and shoulders portrait of Miss Hill, dressed in her white uniform. She is wearing three medals, probably nursing awards for outstanding service. The round medal is her Adelaide Children's Hospital trained Nurses badge. A researcher suggests that the middle badge is the original badge worn by nurses that trained at the Private Hospital, Wakefield Street, and that she would have been entitled to wear this badge as she was once the matron there. Another researcher says that the medal Miss Hill is wearing furthest from the round badge is 'a gold medal presented to Miss Kate Hill for outstanding service 1883-1902'. This medal is located in the Women's and Children's Hospital as part of the heritage and history collection. [See: 'Our Common Bond - A history of nurse education at the Adelaide Children's Hospital 1876-1989 published 2009']. The photograph bears the signature 'Yours sincerely K. Hill'.

Baseball Team players
A Baseball team. Two of the players are wearing tops with SURVEY written on them. In 1888, two American teams ('Chicago Colts' and an 'All star' team) visited South Australia, and played three exhibition matches, 26-28 December, which attracted interest in the game. Subsequently a baseball league was formed at a meeting in Adelaide held on 19 March 1889, with Mr. T. Gepp (Mayor of Kensington & Norwood) being elected President. The Survey team was one of the first South Australian baseball teams to be established, named for the workers of the Surveyor-General's Department. A researcher has provided the following information: the player wearing a SURVEY top, standing on the right side and holding a baseball is Rue Ewers. The name of one of the other players is possibly A.C. Edwards.
