"Meat Queue, Sydney reflects the influence of documentary films whilst recording the experience of post-war food rationing, Max Dupain was commissioned to record a series of these scenes when he visited a Pitt Street butchery. He took several shots and was about to leave when he lined up and focused his final shot of a row of serious-looking women dressed in black with hats. Just as the image was taken, a woman midway along jumped the queue and proceeded to the front, destroying and orderly calm that had existed" (Art Gallery of New South Wales Collection, Sydney, 1994, p. 58)
