EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Melbourne's rich history with its first-ever electric tram, dating back to 1889. The image transports us to a bygone era when this innovative mode of transportation revolutionized the city's landscape. As we gaze upon the vintage tram gracefully gliding along the tracks, it evokes a sense of nostalgia and admiration for Melbourne's pioneering spirit. The significance of this particular tram is not lost on us - it symbolizes both progress and setbacks in Melbourne's journey towards embracing electric transport. Despite its short-lived operation between Box Hill and Doncaster, lasting less than seven years before being abandoned, it stands as a testament to the city's determination to embrace modernity. It wasn't until October 1906 that another electric service finally commenced in Melbourne, marking a renewed commitment to sustainable urban mobility. Today, trams have become an integral part of Melbourne's character; their distinctive presence adds charm and uniqueness to the bustling streets. Lesley Magno skillfully captures this historical moment through her lens, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and architectural beauty of these early trams. Her photograph invites us into an era long gone but forever imprinted in Melbourne's collective memory. As we admire this remarkable piece from Australian Views' collection, let it serve as a reminder that progress often comes with challenges but ultimately shapes our cities' identities.
