Period
circa 1905
This is a black & white postcard of the Exhibition Building, showing the south east facade of the building from Nicholson Street, made circa 1905. This photograph was most probably taken immediately prior to or following the Melbourne International Exhibition, as it depicts the obelisk and lighthouse in the garden but no flags are atop the building.
A black & white photograph of the Exhibition Building, gardens and part of Nicholson Street showing tram, people and carriage. Photograph taken from an elevated position in Nicholson Street with a view of the south east facade in the background. The lake and gardens are in the immediate foreground as well as the obelisk and lighthouse structure immediately south of the building. Annexes appear at the north side of the building.
On the reverse of the card there is space to write a message, an address and to place a stamp.
