Graham Clifton Southwell A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Department of Art History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney 2018 Bronze Southern Doors of the Mitchell Library, Sydney A Hidden Artistic, Literary and Symbolic Treasure Table of Contents Abstract Acknowledgements Chapter One: Introduction and Literature Review Chapter Two: The Invention of Printing in Europe and Printers’ Marks Chapter Three: Mitchell Library Building 1906 until 1987 Chapter Four: Construction of the Bronze Southern Entrance Doors Chapter Five: Conclusion Bibliography i! Abstract Title: Bronze Southern Doors of the Mitchell Library, Sydney. The building of the major part of the Mitchell Library (1939 - 1942) resulted in four pairs of bronze entrance doors, three on the northern facade and one on the southern facade. The three pairs on the northern facade of the library are obvious to everyone entering the library from Shakespeare Place and are well documented. However very little has been written on the pair on the southern facade apart from brief mentions in two books of the State Library buildings, so few people know of their existence. Sadly the excellent bronze doors on the southern facade of the library cannot readily be opened and are largely hidden from view due to the 1987 construction of the Glass House skylight between the newly built main wing of the State Library of New South Wales and the Mitchell Library. These doors consist of six square panels featuring bas-reliefs of different early printers’ marks and two rectangular panels at the bottom with New South Wales wildflowers. -

ISC20C HERITAGE ALERT TEMPLATE ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on 20th Century Heritage dd DARLING HARBOUR – A Place for People 9 May 2013 (revision A) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sydney’s Darling Harbour Precinct, built for the 1988 Australian Bi-Centennial Celebration is currently under threat from a government plan to redevelop a large part of the area for commercial and residential development. The NSW Government Development Proposal SSD57521 for ‘Sydney International Convention, Exhibition & Entertainment Precinct’ (SICEEP) outlines the redevelopment of the convention centre, exhibition centre, entertainment facilities and associated public domain works. In addition the Sydney Entertainment Centre is to be demolished. The site slated for demolition and redevelopment has significant 20th century heritage values. It includes the Sydney Exhibition and Convention Centre complex and the waterfront public urban parkland known as Tumbalong Park incorporating an ‘Urban Stream’ and significant landscaping. The Waterfront Promenade incorporating a Spiral Water Feature and Chinese Garden of Friendship are being retained in the SICEEP scheme. Darling Harbour incorporates some statutory heritage items. They are the Pyrmont Bridge, Hydraulic Pumping Station No. 1, a Carousel and various listed archaeological areas including the Darling Harbour Rail Corridor. The Australian Bicentennial buildings are fine examples of Twentieth Century modern Australian architecture. Darling Harbour’s 56-hectare precinct2, managed until 2012 by the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA) for the NSW Government agency, State Property, was one of the biggest urban redevelopments to be undertaken in Australia, heralding a new era for urban design of public landscape. The scale of the proposed ‘Sydney International Convention Centre, Exhibition & Entertainment Precinct’ redevelopment is much larger than the existing development and will overwhelm the surviving 19th century historic buildings in the area and significantly compromise and reduce the harbourside landscape setting. -
