Most of the views in this section are from a series produced in 1908 by George Rose
to record the visit of the US Great White Fleet to Australia between
20th August and 18th September 1908, while on a world goodwill tour. Waldsmith
states of the photographer:
'Collectors
should look for the fine series by George Rose of Windsor, Victoria, Australia.
Rose Stereograph Company was formed in 1880 and may still be in business
(Rose Company was still making postcards in 1978). Rose made an outstanding
series of the visit of the Great White Fleet to Australia in 1908'.
More
recently, a critique of the work of George Rose was published in volume
28 of Stereo World, the journal of the National Stereoscopic Association.
