"Some of these photographs were made available to the government for international exhibitions at Philadelphia in 1876 and Paris in 1878 where they won medal awards. Another set was mounted on a roll of cloth and taken by Holtermann to America and the Continent where they were exhibited in pleasure gardens and at special gatherings. He returned from abroad with a number of agencies which he vigorously promoted." -- Source: Holtermann entry, Australian Dictionary of Biography, online ed.

[The exhibition hall shown here is made of corrugated iron on a timber frame and does not look like other images of the Garden Palace. It could be in one of the secondary buildings nearby -- A.Davies, Curator of Photographs (Feb 2007)]
