Hippalos, Sydney. Wall Plaque made by Alfred Duffy, Marine & Landscape Photographer, Sydney. (New South Wales). Hotelware. Shipping. Wooden mounted wall plaque with photograph/painting of the boat Hippalos. 211 mm diameter. 1900s
Good. (N/A). Not sure if it was made in two pieces, or it has split and been glued, but this has a join on either side that has evidence of glue around it. One join has a chunk of wood missing underneath. The paper rear mounting has the makers details on it, this is poor and torn around the edges. The maker was a photographer, so I think the picture here is a photograph that has been highlighted with paintwork, the flags for instance are definitely painted as are the waves. A great piece which I believe is quite rare. We have a soup bowl believed to be from this ship in this auction. Estimate: $50-75
