A friend of Jerrems and fellow teacher, Ian Lobb has suggested that the title "Farewell" was given with respect to Bill Heimerman going overseas at the time. The annotation of "Winford" was most likely the name of a block of apartments, where the image was taken. Ian Lobb, who taught with Carol Jerrems and Bill Heimerman at Coburg Technical College, advised that Jerrems often used the name of the locations to title her images, for example, Vale Street.
The image shows a "camera shake" or blurry image, most likely due to both Carol and Bill holding the camera at arm's length. It is quite likely that this is the only surviving print of this image.
