EDITORS COMMENTS
This image presents the ambitious plans for the City of Canberra, the newly-christened capital of the Australian Commonwealth. Established in 1913, Canberra was designed as a purpose-built capital city to serve as the seat of the Australian government. The central feature of this grand design is depicted in this print, showcasing the impressive Capitol building, Houses of Parliament, and Departmental Buildings. The Capitol building, with its imposing neoclassical architecture, stands tall at the heart of the city. Its grand pillars and columns radiate an air of authority and importance. The Houses of Parliament, located to the left of the Capitol, are also depicted in this classical design, with their intricate details and stairway leading to the entrance. The Departmental Buildings, to the right, are equally impressive, with their symmetrical layout and grandeur. The streets and roads leading to these buildings are meticulously planned, creating a sense of order and organization. The spherical bron sphere, a symbol of the Australian Commonwealth, is also visible in the foreground, adding to the historical significance of the image. This print offers a glimpse into the future of the City of Canberra, a city that was destined to become an impressive and grand administrative center for the Australian government. The classical design, with its neoclassical influences, adds to the city's timeless beauty and historical significance. This image is a testament to the vision and ambition of those who planned and built the City of Canberra, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Australian capital.
