Dalby Country Club Hotel (Panorama) Puzzle

Step back in time with the Dalby Country Club Hotel puzzle, a nostalgic piece that captures the charm and history of one of Queensland's iconic landmarks. This panoramic puzzle, crafted from a photograph by Jaime Dormer, showcases the enduring beauty of a building that has served as a pillar of Dalby’s heritage for generations.

About the Photo 

Set against a soft dawn sky, this photograph depicts the Country Club Hotel in Dalby, Queensland—a building steeped in local history. Originally built as the Green Lion Hotel in 1852, it endured numerous transformations, including renaming and reconstruction following a devastating fire in 1857.

Rebuilt and renamed multiple times—from the Caledonian to the Post Office Hotel—this building was finally christened the Arcadia before taking on its current title, the Country Club Hotel, in 1935.

Jaime Dormer’s photograph captures the intricate details of the building’s timeless architecture, from the delicate fretwork on the verandas to the historical charm embedded in its facade. The palm trees framing the hotel add a touch of classic Queensland scenery, blending history with the warmth of the town's character.

"Capturing the Country Club Hotel at sunrise felt like preserving a piece of Dalby’s soul. It’s a building that tells a story of resilience, community, and transformation.” – Jaime Dormer

Framing the Image

Frame Details:
The photograph is presented in an elegant, contemporary frame designed to elevate and preserve the artwork. It is encased in a prestige white Majorca moulding, complemented by clarity UV70 glass to ensure protection against light exposure. The use of double acid-free white matting, accented by a Dawsons hand-made dark oaka linen and a silver fillet, provides a refined contrast that enhances the photograph’s vivid colors and depth.

The image is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a museum-quality 100% cotton paper that brings out the photograph's rich tones and details. To protect and maintain the integrity of the print, three coatings of Hahnemühle protective surface spray have been meticulously applied in a crosshatch pattern.

Dimensions:

• Image Size: 20"x30" (50x76cm)
• Frame Size: 35"x45" (89x114cm)

This framed print embodies Dormer’s commitment to quality, with every detail carefully considered to offer an exceptional fine art experience. It is not just a photograph; it is a journey into a landscape sculpted by time, light, and natural forces.
