Summary

Pirie Street, Adelaide, looking east from King William Street. A leisurely scene from the era of horse transport, featuring a horse tram in the centre of the view. A mother and child in full Victorian dress, complete with sun umbrellas, are crossing the road, whilst businessmen stroll past. The gas lamp on the right, in front of Eagle Chambers, has a sign attached which directs horse riders and drivers to 'walk around corners'. According to a researcher, the horse tram in the image is pictured at the City terminus of the Parkside and Glen Osmond horse tram line.
