Both the drawing and mat are in fine condition. 'Château Tanunda birthplace of the Barossa was established in 1890 and is the site of some of the Valley's first vines planted as well as its first winery. The majestic bluestone winery and vineyards is a living testament to the colourful history and pioneering spirit of Australia's most famous wine region. Château Tanunda's origins go back to the decimation of Europe's vineyards by the phylloxera plague. Sensing opportunity the founder's grand vision was to build a Château dedicated to crafting fine quality wines. Château Tanunda would become for a while the largest winery in the Southern Hemisphere. European immigrants had been planting vines in the Barossa since the 1840s so the region was a natural choice. The resulting wines made from grapes produced by 560 local growers . were shipped to a wine starved Europe. Château Tanunda's success was the Barossa's success. <p>For years it was the heart of Barossa winemaking. A veritable "Ivy League" of Australian winemakers worked or studied at the facility including Prof. Soebels Australia's first qualified oenologist; Bill Seppelt; Grant Burge; Geoff Merrill and others. In 1994 in recognition of its rich history Château Tanunda was placed on the Register of State Heritage Places - but by then its glory days were a memory. Abandoned by its then-owner Australian wine giant Southcorp the property was a shell of its former grandeur'. John Geber and his family purchased the property in 1998 and 'The rebirth of Château Tanunda is one of the most remarkable stories of the Australian wine industry' Huon Hooke quoted on the company's website. This drawing dates from its glory days . <p>Robert Emerson Curtis 1898-1996 English-born Australian artist architectural draftsman camouflage officer and official war artist emigrated to Queensland in 1914. In 1922 he 'travelled to the USA with his great friend the pioneer filmmaker Charles Chauvel. There he developed what was to become a lifelong interest in industrial modernism and on returning to Sydney in 1928 he set about documenting the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. He painted murals and did industrial illustration in 1932-38 including the series "Australia at Work" which was syndicated in Australian newspapers. During WWII Curtis recorded working life in the Commonwealth Munition factories 1939-41 worked as Camouflage Officer in Australia and with the RAAF in New Guinea 1941-43 until he was finally appointed an official war artist to record the nation's industrial war-time production 1943-45.

In 1879 the Café Gunsler was established. It was one of the most fashionable restaurants and event venues in the city. Refurbished in 1890 as the Vienna Café it was refurbished in 1914-15 and reopened at the height of World War I in October 1916 as the much more patriotically named Café Australia or The Australia. <br /> <br /> <br /> The refurbishment was designed by Walter Burley Griffin who with his wife Marion Mahony Griffin was also the Federal Capital Director of Design and Construction for Australia's new capital Canberra. The refurbishment created a series of rooms an entry bar a Palm Court a Fountain Court leading through to an arched roofed double height dining room the Venetian Court. Decorated with painted murals sculpture and highly patterned plaster-work and specially designed furniture and fittings which are illustrated on p.2 the refurbishment of The Australia highlighted Griffin’s distinctive geometric style. <br /> <br /> <br /> Frequently used for society events functions and balls The Australia and particularly The Venetian Court was the epicentre of Melbourne society in the interwar period. The venue was sold and refurbished again opening in 1939 as Hotel Australia.<br /> <br /> Wenban was a prolific Australian artist and illustrator. He began his career in Sydney as in illustrator before serving in World War I. He then worked in Melbourne as a commercial illustrator before moving to London where he studied and worked for a number of publications including The Illustrated News. The engraved illustrations depict the geometric Collins St facade and the grand Venetian Court that could seat 400 people: both uncommon views of interwar Melbourne.<br /> <br /> Scarce.
