  • Of Australia's First Woman Sculptor and Her War Memorials
    In Memoriam: World War I memorials by the Australian sculptor Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930). Margaret A. Rose, FAHA, FRHistS Margaret Francis Ellen (“Nell”) Baskerville was born in Melbourne, Victoria in 1861 and was one of the first Australian-born women artists to become a professional sculptor. This brief illustrated account of her war memorials is based on my study of her work and that of her husband and fellow sculptor C. Douglas Richardson, which was published for the Brighton (now Bayside) City Council collection of their paintings and sculpture under the title Victorian Artists. Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930) and C. Douglas Richardson (1853-1932) in 1988. Several memorials to the fallen were commissioned and completed by sculptors as well as by stonemasons in Australia in the aftermath of the “Great War”. Many are recorded, and some are illustrated, in the numerous editions of Sacred Places: War Memorials in the Australian Landscape by K.S. Inglis, assisted by Jan Brazier, of 1998, as well as – more recently – on websites such as those for the “Monument Australia” and “Victorian Heritage” databases. As Inglis has noted, the majority of the war memorials unveiled in the public spaces of Australian towns following World War I had been for – and had illustrated – the male soldiers who had fought and fallen in battle. Amongst the memorials built and unveiled following World War I were, however, also two by the Australian sculptor Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930) for the British nurse Edith Louisa Cavell. Cavell (born in Norfolk, England in 1865) had trained as a nurse in London under a friend of Florence Nightingale (Matron Eva Luckes), had taken up work in Belgium and been executed there at dawn on 12 October 1915 by order of the German Military Governor of Brussels for having assisted in the escape of allied soldiers, and despite the fact that she had tended the wounded of both sides.

This moment of unveiling marked a fascinating moment for Indigenous-settler relations in Australia, but especially urban, densely settled Melbourne. For the face is that of William Barak, ancestor and leader of the Wurundjeri people, whose country was stolen and remade into what we now know as Melbourne. That an early land rights champion is represented in the built form at such a pivotal location in the city that dispossessed his people offers an opportunity to consider the forms of violence, appropriation and misrepresentation that are perpetually constitutive of settler-colonial cities.

  • Submission-In-Chief Melbourne Metro Rail Project EES Hearing Thank Y
    National Trust of Australia (Victoria) ABN 61 004 356 192 Tasma Terrace 4 Parliament Place 12 September 2016 East Melbourne Victoria 3002 Email: [email protected] Web: www.nationaltrust.orG.au National Trust of Australia (Victoria) submission-in-chief T 03 9656 9800 F 03 9656 5397 Melbourne Metro Rail Project EES hearing Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment regarding the Melbourne Metro Rail Project (MMRP). We are cognisant of the strategic justification for the project, and we understand that heritage is but one factor that will constrain the MMRP design and construction. Although the tunnelling method adopted will avoid many impacts on heritage, where works are required at street level they often intersect with places of heritage significance, which should be avoided wherever possible, particularly with regard to the Domain where it is very important to provide certainty that the landscape will not be negatively affected. 1 PRECINCT 1—TUNNELS 1.1 Domain Parklands H2304, HO398 - Tom’s Block The National Trust has heard the evidence of Mr Patrick and Mr Shears and retains serious concerns about the effect of soil stabilisation using ‘grouting’ techniques on trees in Tom’s Block. It was the evidence of Mr Lovell, Mr Shears, and Mr Patrick that the alignment should preferably go under CityLink to avoid impacts on the Domain. It is our submission that the alignment option above CityLink would have an unacceptable detrimental impact on the heritage of the Domain, which is characterised by a parkland of scattered trees dotted across lawns, divided by avenue plantings along winding roads and paths.

  • Shrine of Remembrance
    Nationally Significant 20th-Century Architecture Revised 9/01/2012 Shrine of Remembrance Address Burdwood Drive, South Yarra 3141 Practice Hudson & Wardrop Designed 1923 Completed 1934 Address History & The building of the Shrine of Remembrance was a commemoration Description of an appalling sacrifice of life in war and an assertion of the nobility of the cause for which so many died. Its huge scale reflects the anguish of the community in that period, and the memorial has continuing significance for subsequent generations to the present Burdwood Drive day. Its design arose from a world wide competition won in 1923 by two South Yarra Melbourne architects and ex-servicemen, Philip Burgoyne Hudson (1887-1952) and James Hastie Wardrop (1891-1975). Both had Vic 3141 studied under D'Ebro and each was a recipient of the Silver Medal of the RAIA. The design, said to be based on the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, also reflects the contemporary revival architecture of the late 1920s as seen in other such examples which are strongly Neo-Greco in style. However the Shrine, being closer in function to the ancient prototypes, expresses this style more fully both in its external monumental form and in the superb detail of its bronze metalwork. The Domain Hill site, comprising a low hill on the axis of Swanston Street and embraced by a bend of St Kilda Road, gives the Shrine prominence and visibility from all directions. The Shrine is set in a direct line with Swanston Street and is the most dominant of the RAIA Nº three long vistas in Melbourne.
