EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling city of Melbourne in the late 19th century. The focal point is Princes Bridge, a historic landmark that gracefully spans across the Yarra River. Named after Edward, Prince of Wales, this architectural marvel was meticulously constructed between 1886 and 1888. The scene depicted here showcases a vibrant mix of transportation modes from that era. Horse-drawn carriages traverse the bridge with elegance and grace while steamboats navigate through the river below. The bridge serves as a vital link connecting both sides of Melbourne's urban landscape. As we delve into this monochromatic masterpiece, we are transported to an era where life moved at a slower pace yet brimmed with activity. People can be seen strolling along the riverbank or crossing over to explore different parts of the city. Andrew Garran's wood engraving skillfully captures not only the physical features but also conveys a sense of timelessness and nostalgia. This print allows us to appreciate how much has changed since then while reflecting on our shared history. With its intricate details and historical significance, this print serves as a testament to Australia's rich heritage and reminds us of how far we have come as a nation. It stands as an enduring symbol of connection - bridging not only two sides of Melbourne but also linking past generations with present ones.
