Abstract
Through an analysis of competition categories and entries, this chapter explores the versions of Queensland which were promoted through the 1876 exhibition as well as highlighting aspects of colonial life which were omitted. It also considers the extent to which the organisers of, visitors to and commentators on the exhibition viewed this depiction of the colony's achievements through local, intercolonial and imperial frameworks.
