Name/TitleCollage of photographs of buildings in Melbourne, showing architectural styles from 1890s to 1930s, undated, possibly 1930s
About this objectImages of many different business premises collaged together with Stonnington buildings in the foreground (as written by Selby on the border of the slide).
Some of the buildings can be identified by the business name shown on the building, for example, the Nicholas Building on Swanston Street, third from the right, top row. To the left of this building is the T&G Building, located on Collins Street. The building on the top left with the short square tower is The Argus Building, built in 1924 and located on the corner of Lonsdale and Elizabeth streets.
The church at bottom left is St Joseph's, Stanhope Street, Malvern, opened in 1908. It is not known who the architect was but it has the "Blood and Bandage" style same as the City Baths.
The long, light-coloured building with the central tower on the bottom right could be a college, school, barracks or mansion.
One of the many glass slides purchased from retailers or specifically made for illustrated lectures given by Isaac Selby between c. 1930 and c. 1955 to raise money for the Old Pioneers Memorial Fund.
