Sydney

Bayliss photographed the transformation of Sydney over more than two decades. Although he advertised himself as a landscape photographer, his specialisation included the built environment. His subjects were the major city buildings, civic projects and engineering feats of the colonial period.

He recorded Sydney’s footpaths, roads, new buildings (including St Paul’s College at the University of Sydney and Sydney Technical College) and the Royal Botanic Gardens. And frequently he was drawn to record Sydney’s waterside.
