EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Elizabeth Street in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, during the year 1886. The artist behind this wood engraving is W Mollier, who skillfully captures the essence of a vibrant city in the late 19th century. The scene depicted showcases a snapshot of daily life at that time. The street is teeming with activity as pedestrians navigate their way through a sea of horse-drawn carriages and other forms of road transport. The buildings lining both sides of Elizabeth Street stand tall and proud, showcasing architectural styles typical of that era. In the distance, we catch sight of an impressive clock tower rising above the cityscape, serving as a landmark for locals and visitors alike. This image perfectly encapsulates the concept of a busy metropolis thriving with movement and energy. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from Andrew Garran's Picturesque Atlas Publishing Co. , we are transported to another time and place.
