Description:
Colonial engraving of Brisbane’s Parliament House.
Queensland separated from New South Wales in 1859 and, initially the Queensland Parliament was based in temporary quarters, the first foundation stone for the existing Parliament House was laid in 1864, with the George Street frontage then being built in 1868. It is in the French Renaissance style with the roof made from Mount Isa copper. The colonnades were built in 1878 and the Alice Street frontage was commenced in 1887.
William Crothers Fitler (1857 - 1915)
Fitler was born in Philadelphia in 1857 and studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He was a tonalist landscape painter and most of his works depict views of New York, Connecticut, or Long Island. Fitler was a member of the Salmagundi Club, New York Watercolor Club, Brooklyn Art Association, Artists Fund Society, and New York Municipal Art Society. Fitler came to Australia with Fred B. Schell and W.T. Smedley to work on Australia's most ambitious and largest colonial publishing venture the, Picturesque Atlas of Australia. On his return to America he exhibited widely and was included in shows at the National Academy (1880-1907), Brooklyn Art Club (1881-1886), and Boston Art Club (1881-1908).
