Description:

Rare engraving of Victoria House’s picnic for their staff. Farmer and Company was a drapery business established in 1839 by Joseph and Caroline Farmer which was initially located opposite the Victoria Theatre in Pitt Street. It expanded into a purpose built department store further south on Pitt Street in 1874. For over a century Farmer & Co. was a leading innovator in Australian retail trading and an important Sydney commercial and social institution. In 1866 it encouraged the Saturday Half Holiday Association and later became the first business house in Australia to close at 1 p.m. on Saturdays.
