EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Bourke Street, Melbourne, Australia on a lively Saturday night in the 19th century. Published in G. T. Bettany's renowned book "The Worlds Inhabitants" in 1888, this illustration offers a glimpse into the vibrant nightlife of old Melbourne. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets and gas lamps illuminated the cityscape. The scene is alive with activity as crowds of Australian locals fill every corner of Bourke Street, creating a sense of excitement and energy that permeates through the image. Despite being captured over a century ago, there is something timeless about this depiction. The open gutter system running along the street serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while still retaining their unique character. It also highlights the ingenuity and forward-thinking nature of early Australians who designed such infrastructure for efficient drainage. Ken Welsh's masterful printing brings out every intricate detail within this historical photograph, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance as a window into our past. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect on how much has changed since then while appreciating how certain aspects endure throughout generations.
