A jack of all trades, Allan Gamble was an architect, artist, gallery director, printmaker, and teacher. Alongside these passions, Gamble was a passionate Sydneysider, with a particular interest in Mosman and its development. Constructed between 1893 and 1898 in the Romanesque revival style, the Queen Victoria Building is an landmark of the area. 

In 1986 around the centenary of its construction, Gamble created a series of six lithographs of the Queen Victoria Building, giving a fine rendition of the facade of this Sydney landmark. These prints would suit collectors of architectural prints, people who admire this gracious old building, or those with fond memories of its famous Tea Room and many restaurants.
