Church of St. Ignatius, Richmond.

Scarce colonial engraving of St. Ignatius, Richmond, designed by English born architect William Wardell who was responsible for many of Melbourne’s most important early buildings including St Patrick’s Cathedral. Like St Patrick’s it is in the Gothic Revival style and constructed from local bluestone. The foundation stone was laid in 1867.

From the original edition of The Illustrated Australian News.
