EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Melbourne in 1886. The Law Courts, an architectural masterpiece, stand tall and proud against the backdrop of a rapidly developing city. This wood engraving from the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia transports us to a time when horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation. The scene is filled with activity as people go about their daily lives. Pedestrians walk briskly along William Street, while carriages pass by in a symphony of movement. It's fascinating to see how transport and traffic operated in this era, with horses gracefully pulling these elegant vehicles through the busy streets. The Law Courts themselves exude an air of authority and justice. Their grandeur reflects the importance placed on law and order during this period. As we gaze at this image, we can't help but imagine the countless legal proceedings that took place within those walls. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into Australia's rich history. It serves as a reminder of how far our society has come since then, both technologically and socially. Thanks to Andrew Garran's skilled illustration under Frederic B Schell's supervision, we are able to appreciate this remarkable piece of Australian heritage today.
