EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Ormond College in Melbourne, Australia, taken in 1901. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing architectural beauty is evident. Established by an act of the Parliament of Queen Victoria in 1853 and largely funded by Francis Ormond, this prestigious institution holds a significant place in Australian academic history. The photograph transports us back to a time when colonialism was at its peak and Australia was on the cusp of becoming a federated nation. The imposing facade of Ormond College stands tall against the backdrop of Melbourne's skyline, symbolizing both education and progress. As we gaze upon this historic building, we are reminded of the country's journey towards independence and self-governance. Queen Victoria herself oversaw these developments as Empress of India and Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. The tower that proudly adorns Ormond College adds an air of elegance to its architecture while serving as a visual reminder that knowledge has always been held high within these walls. This print serves as a testament to the rich heritage embedded within every brick and stone that make up Ormond College. It invites us to appreciate not only its physical beauty but also the intellectual pursuits it has fostered throughout generations. Through this image captured over a century ago, we are transported into an era where education played a pivotal role in shaping Australia's future – one that continues to inspire students even today.
