Description

DescriptionPostcard of the Botanical Gardens in Ipswich which is now known as Queens Park. The postcard was part of the Coloured Shell Series, Queensland Views. The Coloured Shell Series postcards were produced between 1904 and 1915, and covered many of Queensland's major towns. The postcards were printed in Germany. In 1858, the residents of Ipswich petitioned the governor of New South Wales to grant land for a public park recreation ground and botanic gardens. The request was granted on 16 September 1858, and in May 1862, a Deed of Grant for 207 acres and 14 perches was recorded.
