Description:

Scarce c.19th hand coloured engraving of the Exhibition Building in Carlton.

Joseph Reed, of the firm Reed and Barnes, was the architect. Reed’s was a grand design, influenced by Rundbogenstil, a round-arched architectural style combining elements from Byzantine, Romanesque, Lombardic and Italian Renaissance buildings. The dome’s design was influenced by Brunelleschi’s c.15th cathedral in Florence.

From the original edition of the Australasian Sketcher.
