Thank you to Cathy Chick, great granddaughter of the Selkirk photographer, AR Edwards, and granddaughter of his  son, Robert, for allowing me to reproduce this photo.

"I recently printed this rural view of Swanston from an old glass plate negative that belonged to my grandpa or great grandpa."

Text on the Photo

There is some wording, barely visible, at the bottom of this photo.  I think it may read:

 'LOVE ?????  ?????    James Patrick'

James Patrick took many photos of Swanston in the early 1900s.
