EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases St George's Terrace in Perth, Western Australia, a historic street that has been a central part of the city's development. The image transports us back in time, as we observe the elegant architecture of the buildings lining the terrace, adorned with intricate details and ornate balconies. The street is named after St George, the patron saint of England, and was originally developed to accommodate the British settlers who arrived in Perth in the late 19th century. The photograph captures the unique character of Perth during the 1910s, a time when the city was undergoing significant growth and transformation. The trams, which were a popular mode of transportation during this era, can be seen making their way along the street, adding to the bustling atmosphere. The trees lining the terrace, with their full canopies, provide a sense of tranquility and contrast against the urban backdrop. St George's Terrace has played an essential role in Perth's history, serving as the location for many significant events and institutions. The Supreme Court of Western Australia, which can be seen in the background of the photograph, has been a prominent landmark since its construction in 1903. The terrace is also home to several embassies, government departments, and cultural institutions, making it a hub of activity and diversity. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and character of Perth and Western Australia, and serves as a reminder of the city's past while inspiring appreciation for its present and future.
