This photograph shows an operation (either staged, or real) taking place in the operating theatre at Rockhampton General Hospital. It was taken c.1910 by Walter Perroux. We are not 100% sure if Beryl Campbell is in this photograph, however the nurse at far left could well be Beryl.
Walter E. Perroux was a well known, prolific and popular photographer of the late 1800s, early 1900s who opened a studio in Toowoomba. Perroux who began his business in Mackay travelled widely throughout Queensland and was a regular photographic contributor to local newspapers including The Queenslander in the early twentieth century.
