A beautiful image of Flinders Street Station taken in 1910, when the new station was the beating heart of Melbourne. The flag on the clock-tower is at half-mast, signifying the passing of King Edward VII in May.
Our restoration work on this image has taken many hours to achieve this end result. This is a pivotal image of Melbourne's most famous icon, in the period between when it was completed and the outbreak of World War I. We feel that we have given this image new life and made it more acceptable to the general public.
