Barrack Street, Sydney, 1942 / by Roland Wakelin

An urban streetscape which shows view of Barrack Street from the footpath at the left hand side of the road looking out east towards the T intersection with George Street, facing the western facade of the General Post Office.

In the foreground, a street vendor sells a [newspaper] to a woman wearing a cerise pink coat, while a female pedestrian, crosses the road ahead to the right hand side of the street, where a vehicle is parked against the curb adjacent to David Jones’ George Street department store. A tram goes through the intersection ahead, passing in front of an RAAF recruitment billboard. In the background is the GPO building with workmen and a crane positioned on the roof of the building.
