The London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company began in 1854 as the London Stereoscope Company (LSC), from 1856 was known as the London Stereoscopic Company, and from May 1859 as the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company.This card is from the collection of a pioneer family of the City of Moorabbin.Stereograph Card manufactured by 'The London Stereoscopic Company' 54 Cheapside - black and whiteThe Falls of Montmorenci, near Qubec, Canada "These beautiful falls are eight miles distant from Quebec, on the Montmorenci river and situated at a point where the river is sixty feet wide. The descent of the torrent is 250 feet higher than those of Niagra, but only about fifty feet in width. The effect of the view of these falls upon the beholder is most delightful. The river at some distance seems suspended in the air, in a sheet of billowy foam. The water which first breaks over the ledge in on sheet is more and more divided as it plunges against the successive layers of rock, which it almost completely veils from view; the spray becomes very delicate and abundant, from top to bottom, hanging over, and revolving round the torrent, till it becomes lighter and more evanescent than the whitest fleecy clouds of summer." In the winter time the spray form the fall freezes in the form of a cone to a height of nearly 100 feet, and at such time the falls a greatly resorted to for the amusement of sliding down the cone with the tobogen, or Indian sleigh. The comparatively short distance from the city and the extreme beauty of the scenery along the whole route, render these falls an attractive scene for the inhabitants, who account a visit amongst their usual recreations.quebec, canada, the falls of montmorenci, moorabbin, stereograph cards

Fortuna Villa has undergone numerous additions and alterations over more than a century. The oldest part of the building dates back to the late 1860s, originally built by Balderstedt and later purchased by mining magnate George Lansell.Lansell expanded the house significantly during his ownership (1869–1905), with further changes after his death and army occupation from 1942 onward. Early photographs and plans were used to tentatively date various additions and alterations, such as verandahs, conservatories, and new blocks. The building's form evolved substantially between the 1870s and early 1900s, with major structural changes and new architectural features added over time. Detailed paint sampling was conducted in four rooms, with more general investigation in others. The complexity of the building and its many alterations made it difficult to precisely date all decorative schemes. Family papers may hold further information, but were not examined in this report. The report suggests that any future restoration or reconstruction should include more comprehensive research, especially into family archives, to better understand the original decorative treatments.Fortuna Villa - Department of Transport and Construction Reports July 1982 by Allom Lovell & Associates in Association with Prudance Sanderson, 15 Niagra Lane Melbourne 3000 and G B Loader Nov 1982 This Document Contains the following two Items: 11231.1a This document is an investigation report on the internal decorative treatments and paint schemes of Fortuna Villa in Bendigo, focusing on its historical development and restoration considerations.
