"Corner of Swanston and Flinders Streets, Melbourne, showing St. Paul's Cathedral"

This is the first of a number of panoramic images of Victoria, Australia, from a book in my collection. The cover says only Beautiful Victoria; apparently the title page is missing from this copy (as well as some of the plates). The book is probably Souvenir of Victoria, the garden state of Australia : 42 splendid views of city and country by Osboldstone Publishing, in the 1910s. It measures slightly under 19 x 44 cm.


"Corner of Swanston and Flinders Streets, Melbourne, showing St. Paul's Cathedral." St. Paul's was consecrated on 22 January 1891, but apparently the building of the spires did not begin until 1926.

Here is a view from 2009 (Wikimedia Commons), also from Flinders Street Station:
