Children in the Quadrangle, Asylum for Destitute Children, Randwick, 1910s, courtesy of J. Coulter Randwick Asylum Govt Printer, 1916.
This photograph shows the children of the Randwick Asylum assembled in the quadrangle in the grounds of the home.
This image was published in Children of the Back Lanes: destitute and neglected children in colonial New South Wales in 1986. The original image is held by the State Archives of New South Wales. This image has been dated as 1916, however as the asylum had closed by this date it is assumed that this image was taken slightly earlier than 1916.
