The 1890 image originates from a low-resolution download available free of charge from the State Library of South Australia website (see “Source”). The library's web page states that a higher-resolution image (size 6.5 MB) is available for purchase from them. I have improved some exposure, contrast and colour values and removed some blemishes and chemical marks from the image as downloaded.
