Notes

Photographic reproduction in black and white of a popular republication by a commercial building magazine of Walter Burley Griffin's first official design of Canberra. Originally issued in colour in 1913, the original title "Canberra, Federal Capital of Australia : preliminary plan" appears clearly on this reproduction, and shows proposed roads, buildings, plantings, water features and land use for the central area of the city, Civic-Manuka. Relief is shown by contours, and spot heights.

"This proof is published as a supplement to 'Building and real estate magazine', 12th Dec. 1913, as a courtesy by the Hon. Minister of Home Affairs".
