Statue of John Hunter, Tower Place, Leith
Governor of New South Wales (Australia) between 1795 and 1800. He was born in Leith (City of Edinburgh) the son of a ship-master. He was second-in-command on HMS Sirius to Arthur Phillip who founded the colony of New South Wales in 1788. Hunter is said to have governed the colony with sense, duty and humanity, but he was not liked by the Duke of Portland, who was Secretary of State, and issued an order recalling him to England in 1799. His conduct was later vindicated and he was awarded a generous pension. He was briefly given command of the warship Venerable, but after this ship was wrecked he finished his career at a desk. In 1807, he was promoted to Rear Admiral and, three years later, to Vice-Admiral.
He died in London, where he lies buried in Hackney Old Cemetery.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P6JH2P - James Dunwoody Bulloch (June 25, 1823 “ January 7, 1901) was the Confederacy's chief foreign agent in Great Britain during the American Civil War. Based in Liverpool, he operated blockade runners and commerce raiders that provided the Confederacy with its only source of hard currency. Bulloch arranged for the purchase by British merchants of Confederate cotton, as well as the dispatch of armaments and other war supplies to the South. He also oversaw the construction and purchase of several ships designed at ruining Northern shipping during the Civil War, including CSS Florida, CSS Alabama, CSS Stonewall, and CSS Shenandoah. Due to him being a Confederate secret agent, Bulloch was not included in the general amnesty that came after the Civil War and therefore decided to stay in Liverpool, becoming the director of the Liverpool Nautical College and the Orphan Boys Asylum.
Bulloch's half-brother Irvine Bulloch was a Confederate naval officer and his half-sister Martha Roosevelt was the mother of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and paternal grandmother of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K01H1Y - The number of states headed by Queen Elizabeth II varied during her 70 years on the throne, altogether seeing her as sovereign of a total of 32 independent countries during this period. In her capacity as Queen of the United Kingdom (including the British overseas territories), she was also monarch of three Crown Dependencies”the Channel Island of Guernsey and Jersey (as the Duke of Normandy), and the Isle of Man (as the Lord of Mann)”and, in her capacity as Queen of New Zealand, she was monarch of two associated states”the Cook Islands and Niue”after they acquired this status in 1965 and 1974, respectively.
Two situations in two countries differ from the others. The government of the unrecognised state of Rhodesia proclaimed its allegiance to Elizabeth II as Queen of Rhodesia from 1965 to 1970. However, she did not accept either the role or the title and it was not accepted or recognised by any other state. Fiji became a republic through a military coup in 1987, after which its Great Council of Chiefs continued to recognise Elizabeth II as queen, or Paramount Chief of Fiji, until the council's de-establishment on 14 March 2012.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8BNNE - . Made at Temple Bar, Dublin, Eire, Ireland in 2019, this photograph records a real place and moment, preserving details that may later be altered by redevelopment, rebranding, changing ownership or different public use. The scene records Skull graffiti, in Dublin, near Temple Bar - No Worries. The subject also carries associations with public-realm art, temporary artwork, social history, medical consumer history, contemporary social history, contemporary mural, public-health intervention, health-service prevention, creative placemaking, healthcare access, healthcare communication, everyday life, street creativity, and local character. The wider contemporary story combines local identity, gentrification and the blurred boundary between commissioned public art and graffiti. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with NHS capacity, preventive care and how home testing can widen access to preventive healthcare. The archival value lies partly in recording materials and architectural details around Temple Bar, Dublin, Eire, Ireland before new construction alters the character of the place. Further associations within the scene are patient self-testing, period detail, mural culture, public-health screening, urban artwork, before-and-after reference, historical comparison, and visual archive. The recorded references to graffiti, Skull, Dublin, Temple, and Worries preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. The wider setting at Temple Bar, Dublin, Eire, Ireland matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. Another strand within the photograph is local identity and the blurred boundary between commissioned public art and graffiti in a form that can be compared with future views of Temple Bar, Dublin, Eire, Ireland. The image fixes evidence of earlier appearance for future local research.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F15PYA - . A grounded documentary photograph made at North Korea, Pyongyang, ì²Â릞거리 in 2015, combining the immediate subject with evidence of the surrounding streetscape, public realm, business activity or local character. The frame specifically shows DPR Korea 1990 Hexagrammos otakii fish weed brown stamp. Further facets of the scene include postal history, postal ephemera, documentary photography, before-and-after reference, philatelic collecting, historical comparison, stamp design, postal artefact, local character, community identity, visual archive, public realm, place identity, and regional identity. Today's relevance is strengthened by mail history, commemoration and the continuing question of how stamps compress art, politics and national identity into small objects. Future viewers can use this scene from North Korea, Pyongyang, ì²Â릞거리 to compare landscape treatment and surrounding development with whatever follows after replacement signage. Other useful contextual ideas include changing streetscape, everyday life, paper communication, social history, postal graphic design, commemorative issue, period detail, and contemporary social history. Elements such as brown, otakii, stamp, Korea, and Hexagrammos add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. The wider setting at North Korea, Pyongyang, ì²Â릞거리 matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. The scene further reflects mail history and how stamps compress art, politics and national identity into small objects within the real-world context of North Korea, Pyongyang, ì²Â릞거리. Its period value extends to mail history and how stamps compress art, politics and national identity into small objects within the specific setting of North Korea, Pyongyang, ì²Â릞거리.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PF577W - . A carefully observed scene records the physical context of Canberra ACT, Australia, as recorded during 2015. The source caption identifies Used Australia 5c blue Stamp with Queen Elizabeth II. Other aspects of the setting include architectural heritage, heritage asset, public interest, national policy, public policy, conservation architecture, period property, local democracy, civic life, adaptive reuse, public-sector policy, and architectural character. Seen from a 2025-onward perspective, older urban fabric also connects with adaptive reuse, conservation of original fabric and efforts aimed at heritage-led regeneration. The wider contemporary story of civic administration now includes climate policy alongside the cost of living, while policy and investment increasingly consider changing funding priorities. The photograph fixes Canberra ACT, Australia at one identifiable stage in its history, providing a reference against which later refurbishment, closure, demolition, conversion, new ownership or altered public use can be assessed. The broader context includes architectural detail, urban fabric, historic fabric, conservation interest, policy change, political discourse. Further recorded details include historic stamp, Rare postage stamps, old stamps, old stamp, used postage stamps, used postage stamp. A second layer of description includes traditional building, period architecture, local landmark, public administration, policy implementation, social policy, civic debate, government decision-making, democratic accountability, and local authority. Modern coverage of heritage assets frequently reaches beyond the immediate scene to questions of adaptive reuse, energy retrofit and heritage-led regeneration. For future comparison, the scene preserves signage and branding, community life, local continuity, physical infrastructure, and commercial identity within the surrounding area.

The six self-governing Australian colonies that formed the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 operated their own postal service and issued their own stamps “ see articles on the systems on New South Wales (first stamps issued 1850), Victoria (1850), Tasmania (1853), Western Australia (1854), South Australia (1855) and Queensland (1860). Under section 51(v) of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1900, postal, telegraphic, telephonic, and other like services became a Commonwealth responsibility.
The Commonwealth's Postmaster-General's Department became effective on 1 March 1901 (this agency would be disaggregated on 1 July 1975 in part into the Australian Postal Commission trading as Australia Post). All then-current colony stamps which continued on sale became de facto Commonwealth stamps. Some of these stamps continued to be used for some time following the introduction in 1913 of the Commonwealth's uniform postage stamp series. These stamps continued to be valid for postage until 14 February 1966 when the introduction of decimal currency made all stamps bearing the earlier currency invalid for use.
There have been many special issues. The first Christmas stamp appeared on 6 November 1957. In recent years, designs for the Christmas issue have alternated each year between the religious and the secular. From 1993, in October of every year, Australia Post has commemorated Stamp Collecting month with special issues, typically featuring topics that are of interest to children such as pets, native fauna and space. Commencing with the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, stamps featuring Australians who have won an Olympic gold medal are issued on the next postal business day after the achievement.

The six self-governing Australian colonies that formed the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 operated their own postal service and issued their own stamps “ see articles on the systems on New South Wales (first stamps issued 1850), Victoria (1850), Tasmania (1853), Western Australia (1854), South Australia (1855) and Queensland (1860). Under section 51(v) of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1900, postal, telegraphic, telephonic, and other like services became a Commonwealth responsibility.
The Commonwealth's Postmaster-General's Department became effective on 1 March 1901 (this agency would be disaggregated on 1 July 1975 in part into the Australian Postal Commission trading as Australia Post). All then-current colony stamps which continued on sale became de facto Commonwealth stamps. Some of these stamps continued to be used for some time following the introduction in 1913 of the Commonwealth's uniform postage stamp series. These stamps continued to be valid for postage until 14 February 1966 when the introduction of decimal currency made all stamps bearing the earlier currency invalid for use.
There have been many special issues. The first Christmas stamp appeared on 6 November 1957. In recent years, designs for the Christmas issue have alternated each year between the religious and the secular. From 1993, in October of every year, Australia Post has commemorated Stamp Collecting month with special issues, typically featuring topics that are of interest to children such as pets, native fauna and space. Commencing with the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, stamps featuring Australians who have won an Olympic gold medal are issued on the next postal business day after the achievement.

Under section 51(v) of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1900, postal, telegraphic, telephonic, and other like services became a Commonwealth responsibility.
The Commonwealth's Postmaster-General's Department became effective on 1 March 1901 (this agency would be disaggregated on 1 July 1975 in part into the Australian Postal Commission trading as Australia Post). All then-current colony stamps which continued on sale became de facto Commonwealth stamps. Some of these stamps continued to be used for some time following the introduction in 1913 of the Commonwealth's uniform postage stamp series. These stamps continued to be valid for postage until 14 February 1966 when the introduction of decimal currency made all stamps bearing the earlier currency invalid for use.
There have been many special issues. The first Christmas stamp appeared on 6 November 1957. In recent years, designs for the Christmas issue have alternated each year between the religious and the secular. From 1993, in October of every year, Australia Post has commemorated Stamp Collecting month with special issues, typically featuring topics that are of interest to children such as pets, native fauna and space. Commencing with the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, stamps featuring Australians who have won an Olympic gold medal are issued on the next postal business day after the achievement.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4KYH - . A mixture of franked Australian postage stamps. The photograph was taken on 21 December 2014. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with mixture, franked, Australian, postage, stamps, page, mix, Australia, sheet and used, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The photograph is a documentary record of an identifiable subject and location, useful for editorial, archive, travel, local-history and social-history picture research. It can support features about everyday life, place, public space, local identity, tourism, consumer behaviour and the changing appearance of towns, cities and communities. Visible objects, signs, buildings and environmental details provide contextual clues that make the image useful beyond its immediate subject. As a dated stock photograph it also offers a reference point for later comparison, especially where businesses, streets, public services or local surroundings subsequently change. Search themes include documentary photography, local history, everyday life, place, public space, travel, community identity, social history and changing surroundings. Its specificity makes it more useful than a generic concept image when an editor needs a recognisable real-world subject and setting. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. It can be used in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, documentaries, heritage projects and retrospective features where geographical accuracy and period detail matter. This particular view is catalogued under Alamy image reference ED4KYH, distinguishing it from other photographs of the same or related subject.

The scene is closely associated with English Rugby at Twickenham, London, RFU, championship, champion, 6nations, nations, team, sport and stadium, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The photograph is relevant to homes, residential streets, domestic architecture and the everyday details that shape the appearance of British housing. It can support editorial features about housing, addresses, front doors, neighbourhood identity, home ownership, renting, property condition, postal delivery, security and suburban or urban streets. Doors, windows, numbers, letterboxes, gardens, walls and other domestic details can provide a recognisable visual shorthand for home and residence without relying on a staged interior. As a dated record, the image can also be useful for local history and later comparison as properties are altered, refurbished or redeveloped. Search themes include housing, homes, front doors, addresses, letterboxes, house numbers, residential streets, property, neighbourhoods, renting and home ownership. Small domestic details can become useful archive evidence when properties are refurbished, altered, renumbered or redeveloped. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph.

Doors, windows, numbers, letterboxes, gardens, walls and other domestic details can provide a recognisable visual shorthand for home and residence without relying on a staged interior. As a dated record, the image can also be useful for local history and later comparison as properties are altered, refurbished or redeveloped. Search themes include housing, homes, front doors, addresses, letterboxes, house numbers, residential streets, property, neighbourhoods, renting and home ownership. Small domestic details can become useful archive evidence when properties are refurbished, altered, renumbered or redeveloped. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. It can be used in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, documentaries, heritage projects and retrospective features where geographical accuracy and period detail matter.

The scene is closely associated with James, Moorhouse, Statue, Manchester, Cathedral, Englan, statues, Melbourne, and a chancellor of the University of Melbourne of and bishop, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The subject has strong relevance to education, school life, pupils, students, classmates, learning and the rituals that mark transitions between stages of childhood and young adulthood. It can support editorial features about schools, the end of term, friendship, uniforms, memories, examinations, moving to a new school, student identity and the social traditions that develop around education. Handwriting, names, clothing, classroom or school-related details can provide authentic visual evidence of personal experience rather than a staged educational concept. The photograph can therefore work for both contemporary education stories and longer-term social-history coverage of how pupils commemorate school years and friendships. Search themes include education, school life, pupils, classmates, school leavers, uniforms, end-of-term traditions, childhood memories and transitions between stages of education. Personal marks, handwriting, clothing or school-related objects give the subject a human documentary quality that is useful for social-history as well as education coverage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DN6N9E - . James Moorhouse Statue Manchester Cathedral England UK. Photographed on 24 September 2013. The recorded location is Victoria St, Manchester , England, UK, M3 1SX. James Moorhouse (19 November 1826 9 April 1915) was an Anglican bishop of Melbourne and of Manchester, and a chancellor of the University of Melbourne. Looking at the subject's development, art in public and historic settings adds another layer to the built environment
Sculpture, mosaic, painting and street art can interpret heritage, provoke debate, memorialise communities or create landmarks, and photographs preserve works that may later change or disappear. The wider historical story is that churches combine worship with architecture, community memory and centuries of community history
Their stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, changing liturgy, community benefactors, war remembrance and family history. For the 2026 context, public art and murals remain important to place-making, tourism and regeneration, particularly in city districts where street art has become part of the visitor economy
They also raise questions about conservation, ownership, temporary work and the rapid redevelopment of urban neighbourhoods. In the present 2026 context, historic places of worship remain important not only for faith but also for conservation, tourism, music, community use and community identity
Their maintenance illustrates the continuing challenge of caring for ageing heritage structures while keeping them accessible and relevant. The wider historical story is that public art can become part of the identity of a street or neighbourhood, recording political ideas, local history, humour, memory and changing cultural tastes
Murals, sculpture and decorative art are especially valuable as documentary subjects because they may be altered, moved, weathered or removed.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

The six self-governing Australian colonies that formed the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 operated their own postal service and issued their own stamps “ see articles on the systems on New South Wales (first stamps issued 1850), Victoria (1850), Tasmania (1853), Western Australia (1854), South Australia (1855) and Queensland (1860). Under section 51(v) of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1900, postal, telegraphic, telephonic, and other like services became a Commonwealth responsibility.
The Commonwealth's Postmaster-General's Department became effective on 1 March 1901 (this agency would be disaggregated on 1 July 1975 in part into the Australian Postal Commission trading as Australia Post). All then-current colony stamps which continued on sale became de facto Commonwealth stamps. Some of these stamps continued to be used for some time following the introduction in 1913 of the Commonwealth's uniform postage stamp series. These stamps continued to be valid for postage until 14 February 1966 when the introduction of decimal currency made all stamps bearing the earlier currency invalid for use.
There have been many special issues. The first Christmas stamp appeared on 6 November 1957. In recent years, designs for the Christmas issue have alternated each year between the religious and the secular. From 1993, in October of every year, Australia Post has commemorated Stamp Collecting month with special issues, typically featuring topics that are of interest to children such as pets, native fauna and space. Commencing with the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, stamps featuring Australians who have won an Olympic gold medal are issued on the next postal business day after the achievement.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K01H22 - The number of states headed by Queen Elizabeth II varied during her 70 years on the throne, altogether seeing her as sovereign of a total of 32 independent countries during this period. In her capacity as Queen of the United Kingdom (including the British overseas territories), she was also monarch of three Crown Dependencies”the Channel Island of Guernsey and Jersey (as the Duke of Normandy), and the Isle of Man (as the Lord of Mann)”and, in her capacity as Queen of New Zealand, she was monarch of two associated states”the Cook Islands and Niue”after they acquired this status in 1965 and 1974, respectively.
Two situations in two countries differ from the others. The government of the unrecognised state of Rhodesia proclaimed its allegiance to Elizabeth II as Queen of Rhodesia from 1965 to 1970. However, she did not accept either the role or the title and it was not accepted or recognised by any other state. Fiji became a republic through a military coup in 1987, after which its Great Council of Chiefs continued to recognise Elizabeth II as queen, or Paramount Chief of Fiji, until the council's de-establishment on 14 March 2012. However, this was only a ceremonial title, with no role in government at all

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus or, inaccurately, koala bear[a]) is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae, and its closest living relatives are the wombats.
The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. It is easily recognisable by its stout, tailless body
round, fluffy ears
and large, spoon-shaped nose. The koala has a body length of 60“85 cm (24“33 in) and weighs 4“15 kg (9“33 lb).
Pelage colour ranges from silver grey to chocolate brown. Koalas from the northern populations are typically smaller and lighter in colour than their counterparts further south. It is possible that these populations are separate subspecies, but this is disputed.

The six self-governing Australian colonies that formed the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 operated their own postal service and issued their own stamps “ see articles on the systems on New South Wales (first stamps issued 1850), Victoria (1850), Tasmania (1853), Western Australia (1854), South Australia (1855) and Queensland (1860). Under section 51(v) of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1900, postal, telegraphic, telephonic, and other like services became a Commonwealth responsibility.
The Commonwealth's Postmaster-General's Department became effective on 1 March 1901 (this agency would be disaggregated on 1 July 1975 in part into the Australian Postal Commission trading as Australia Post). All then-current colony stamps which continued on sale became de facto Commonwealth stamps. Some of these stamps continued to be used for some time following the introduction in 1913 of the Commonwealth's uniform postage stamp series. These stamps continued to be valid for postage until 14 February 1966 when the introduction of decimal currency made all stamps bearing the earlier currency invalid for use.
There have been many special issues. The first Christmas stamp appeared on 6 November 1957. In recent years, designs for the Christmas issue have alternated each year between the religious and the secular. From 1993, in October of every year, Australia Post has commemorated Stamp Collecting month with special issues, typically featuring topics that are of interest to children such as pets, native fauna and space. Commencing with the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, stamps featuring Australians who have won an Olympic gold medal are issued on the next postal business day after the achievement.
