Bayliss, Charles, 1850-1897.
Description:
The photographer Beaufoy Merlin and his American and Australasian Photographic Company arrived in Sydney from Victoria around July 1870, via several country towns in New South Wales. In an advertisement placed in the Sydney Morning Herald on 21 September 1870 he announced that they had "now just completed taking nearly 800 views of Parramatta alone". This photograph must be one of those views and the man on the river bank is probably Merlin's assistant in the enterprise, Charles Bayliss.
