| Description : |
Sir Josiah Symon on the verandah at Manoah, his residence and estate at Upper Sturt, with Lady Symon and other members of his family on Christmas Day, 1896. A nursemaid carries the youngest child, some of the other children display what may be their Christmas gifts - a pony, a tricycle and cricket gear - and the sisters gather nearby. This is a composed family gathering at Christmas and displays some of the wealth of a family in which the father is a notable member of South Australian society and a successful lawyer. Sir Josiah Symon was prominent in the Australian Federation movement. |
