This authentic colour photograph, captured in 1975, showcases the J. F. Archibald Memorial Fountain located in Hyde Park, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The archival image highlights the central bronze figure of Apollo, representing the sun giving life to all nature, surrounded by water jets that form a grand fan-like spray. To the left, the bronze sculpture of Diana, the huntress, is clearly visible alongside her hounds and a stag. The scene captures a moment of mid-1970s daily life, with pedestrians in period-correct attire—including a woman in a checkered mini-dress and a man in flared denim jeans—strolling past the landmark. In the background, dense green foliage and the steel framework of a high-rise building under construction with a prominent crane illustrate the urban development of the Sydney CBD during this era. This factual record preserves the beauty of one of Australia’s most famous Art Deco monuments in its historic context. All our images are available as royalty-free instant downloads for use in books, media, and creative projects – or make your own prints for home, work, or as a truly unique gift.
