The image captures two vertically oriented, illuminated display panels in what appears to be an exhibition or museum setting, surrounded by darkness. The panels are part of an exhibit detailing the history of jetties. The upper panel, titled "JETTIES Important centres for business and pleasure," features two historical, sepia-toned photographs depicting bustling jetties, likely on the Swan River, with people and boats. The accompanying text explains that before jetties, people landed on flats and beaches. Small jetties were established at Pier Street and Barrack Street in the 1830s, and by the 1860s, these were rebuilt and extended into deeper water, forming "Perth's inland port, a busy place for cargo and passengers." Other visible text snippets on this panel include "Jetty," "Street jetty," "City of Perth plan showing jetties," and "SWAN RIVER." The lower panel displays physical artifacts, including three large, weathered metal objects: two long, thick bolts or pins with rounded heads, and a U-shaped object resembling a horseshoe or shackle. A smaller, faded image of an anchor and partial text reading "JIG BOLTS and pins" are also visible at the bottom of this panel. The lighting suggests an indoor, artificial setting, with the exhibits brightly lit against a dark background. The panels are slightly tilted, giving a dynamic perspective.
