EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print of Melbourne takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling city that was emerging as a significant port and cultural hub. The European School artist skillfully captures the essence of this Australian metropolis, showcasing its vibrant landscape and famous landmarks. The image transports us to a time when Australia was still connected to its British roots, evident in the presence of British coinage such as shillings and pounds. Melbourne's position as an overseas outpost is highlighted by its strategic location near the sea, serving as a gateway between Europe and the vast world beyond. The illustration depicts Victoria Parade, one of Melbourne's prominent thoroughfares, lined with grand buildings that reflect both British influence and local architectural styles. This scene offers a fascinating insight into how early settlers sought to recreate elements of their homeland while adapting to their new surroundings. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded of the rich heritage shared between Great Britain and Australia. It serves as a testament to Melbourne's growth from colonial settlement to cosmopolitan cityscape—a transformation that continues today. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. Let it transport you back in time and immerse yourself in the beauty and history captured within this stunning depiction of Melbourne.
