EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Melbourne, Victoria in 1886. The image showcases Swanston Street, the city's main thoroughfare, as it stretches into the distance. On the right side of the street stands St Pauls Cathedral, its majestic spire reaching towards the heavens. The scene is filled with activity and movement. Horse-drawn carriages traverse the road, carrying passengers to their destinations. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines, creating a vibrant atmosphere that defines this era. The wood engraving was created by Andrew Garran under the supervision of Frederic B Schell for Picturesque Atlas of Australasia. It beautifully captures not only a moment in time but also provides insight into Australia's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when horse-drawn vehicles ruled the roads and Christianity played an integral role in society. This print serves as a reminder of how far our transportation systems have evolved and how religion has shaped our cities throughout history. With its monochrome aesthetic and intricate details, this print offers viewers a glimpse into 19th-century Melbourne—a city brimming with energy and promise. It is truly a testament to both artistry and documentation that allows us to appreciate Australia's past while marveling at its progress over time.
