Drawing on paper
Signed on the front.
The scene depicts a moment in the 1909 VFL Grand Final between South Melbourne and Carlton at the MCG. The match was a replay of the 1907 Grand Final won by the Blues. In 1909, Carlton was trying to make it four consecutive premierships, but the victory went to South Melbourne - the club's first VFL premiership.
By researching my subject thoroughly, I discover that which is often unclear or obscured in the old photographs and reunite the people, structures and background to their rightful place.
The full colour rendering of the scene breathes life into the historical black & white record of the football past and allows the contemporary viewer the opportunity to to witness the moment as it would have appeared to those who were there.
