Summary

Description

Australia, Sydney, New South Government Railways, Central Station — the old Booking Office, with one of several large Art Nouveau stained glass windows of the same design.

  • Dating from about 1900, utilising Tiffany's Favrile glass (the streaked and opalescent coloured glass) and so-called Cathedral glass, (the mottle white and yellow glass). The large red flowers are Waratahs (Telopea speciosissima), the state emblem of NSW.
  • The photo is a composite because the large awning outside and the encroachment of portable offices makes it hard to take a snapshot.
Date Taken in 2006
