EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Melbourne in 1886. At its center stands the magnificent Melbourne Town Hall, a symbol of civic pride and architectural grandeur. Designed by Joseph Reed, one of Melbourne's most esteemed architects, this municipal building opened its doors in 1870. The image captures the essence of a vibrant cityscape with horse-drawn carriages and trams traversing the busy roads. The towering presence of the town hall commands attention as it overlooks the lively scene below. Its Victorian-era architecture exudes elegance and sophistication. Surrounded by other buildings, lanes, and avenues, this historic landmark serves as a testament to Australia's rich heritage. It represents not only local government but also signifies progress and development within the country. The wood engraving technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to every detail captured by Andrew Garran under Frederic B Schell's supervision for Picturesque Atlas Publishing Co in 1886. As we gaze upon this monochrome snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness an era where transportation relied on horsepower rather than engines. This evocative image invites us to appreciate both the beauty of Melbourne's past and its enduring legacy that continues to shape our present-day cityscape.
