Cities of the Sunny South, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 1909
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back in time to the bustling streets of early 20th century Melbourne. Captured by George Rose, this image showcases Collins Street from Russell Street looking west - a grand avenue filled with horse-drawn vehicles and trams. The city's main thoroughfare comes alive as people go about their daily activities against a backdrop of magnificent buildings. On the right side of the photograph stands the impressive Melbourne Town Hall and Prince Alfred's Tower, adding an air of elegance to the scene. This snapshot is part of a set of stereocard views created by George Rose and packaged as "Studies through the Stereoscope". Designed to be viewed on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood, these images allowed viewers to immerse themselves in three-dimensional cityscapes. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to this piece while highlighting intricate architectural details and street life. It serves as both an advertisement for George Rose's work and a testament to his skill in capturing urban landscapes. With its blend of transportation modes - from horse-drawn carriages to trams - this photograph provides insight into how people moved around Melbourne during that era. As we gaze upon this historic image today, we are transported back in time; it allows us to appreciate not only Melbourne's rich history but also its vibrant present-day urban landscape.
