Accession[1965.0017] Papers of Joseph Bishop and familyIdentifierUMA-ITE-1965001700148Extentnot specifiedScope and ContentJoseph Bishop arrived in Melbourne during the goldrushes, ultimately establishing a coach building business at Beechworth, which was later transferred to Euroa. The family moved to Melbourne in the late 1880s, where one son became the proprietor of the trade journal 'The Australasian Coachbuilder and Saddler'. The collection consists of family photographs and photographs used to illustrate 'The Australasian Coachbuilder and Saddler'. This photograph shows a four-wheeled wagon, parked in a street, by a house. Written on the wagon is "D. Reid. Builder. Murrumburrah, Woodford." This appears to have been built by the company of David Reid who had a long standing business in Murrumburrah, NSW.
Inscription: Pencilled on verso: "Wording on dray reads 'D. Reid, Builder, Murrumburrah, Woodford'".
