Central Wellington, Circa 1925 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Heart of New Zealand's Capital
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to Post Office Square in Central Wellington, New Zealand. Captured from a high angle perspective by S. C. Smith of the Topical Press Agency, it offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the city's vibrant street scene during the mid-1920s. The image showcases Jervois Quay on the left and Custom-house Quay leading off to the right, revealing a bustling thoroughfare filled with horse-drawn carts and early automobiles. Amidst this lively backdrop stands Clarrie Gibbons' tobacconist and stationery kiosk, nestled in the bottom left corner of Post Office Square. As we immerse ourselves in this historical snapshot, we can almost feel the energy pulsating through Wellington's streets. The male and female pedestrians going about their daily routines add an air of authenticity to this vivid portrayal of urban life from yesteryear. With its horizontal composition capturing every intricate detail, from architectural facades to glimpses of passing traffic, this photograph serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a valuable record of Australasian history. Preserved within Fine Art Storehouse's collection, this remarkable piece transports us back to an era when horses still roamed alongside early motor vehicles – reminding us how much cities have transformed over time while preserving their unique charm.
