About this work

“…I did a great deal of work for Vickers-Ruwolt’s heavy engineering works. Some of the photographs I took shortly after my arrival were still on display at the head office almost thirty years later. These were the finest years of balck and white photography and exemplified my concern to promote and enhance Australia’s standing in the world…”.
Wolfgang Sievers, 1988
