This is a black-and-white print that shows the eight-hour day demonstration entering the Zoological Gardens (now the Royal Melbourne Zoo) in Melbourne, Victoria. The large procession of people, some carrying banners and flags, can be seen in the background, while in the foreground, several spectators including a few policemen observe the march, and a group on horseback is shown conversing. Several marquees have been erected in the Gardens. The print is from a wood engraving made by artist Samuel Calvert in 1864.
