Summary

Description
English: Brisbane floods, 1893.

Many different forms of transport were used to move around during the 1893 floods. This photograph was taken at the intersection of Edward and Mary Streets, looking towards the Botanic Gardens. (Description supplied with photograph.).

Poul C. Poulsen, founder of the Poulsen Studios in Brisbane, was born in Denmark in 1857 and arrived in Sydney in 1876. In 1882, he moved to Queensland and was later joined by his sisters and brothers from Denmark. He opened his own studio at no 7 Queen Street in 1885 and later opened branches, run by his brothers in other Queensland towns. Poulsen vigorously advertised constant improvements and modernisation in his studio and in the service he provided. His sons and grandson followed in his footsteps.
