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. An excellent ephemeral remnant from one of the significant landmarks of society gastronomy and hospitality in interwar Melbourne.<br /> <br /> § Unrecorded.<br /> <br /> <br /> </p> Troedel & Cooper unknown
