Proposed Sydney Harbour Bridge, watercolour on 3 sheets of paper, on canvas lining, by Norman Selfe, c. 1903. Norman Selfe (1839-1922) was an Australian engineer, naval architect, inventor, urban visionary. In 1902, he won a competition for the design of a harbour bridge with his steel cantilever bridge design. A change in government and an economic slowdown meant Selfe's design was never realised.
