Beauty of a bygone era...

A turn-of-the-century Brisbane beauty. 


Your good author is, much like this magnificent beast, Queensland born and reared. That is, Queensland, Australia. This architectural style may be unfamiliar with those outside of the country, but to Queensland residents, this is a common sight-although, it must be said, one that is slowly taking a back seat while modern, hideous structures continue to emerge.

You may find this divine old girl somewhere around the riverside area of New Farm, Brisbane-not too far, in the grand scheme of things, from your unpresuming  Daguerreian Dandy, in fact. Difficult to say whether she's had parts tacked on or altered at some point. To me, she looks pure Edwardian era. Federation style, Daguerreian Dandy believes. Ravishing, is she not?
