EDITORS COMMENTS
Collins Street, Melbourne, Australia, circa 1917: A Timeless Gothic Masterpiece This etching captures the enchanting allure of Collins Street in Melbourne, Australia, during the early 20th century. The large, looming Gothic spire of St. Michael's Uniting Church stands proudly amidst the bustling cityscape, a testament to the rich architectural history of this vibrant metropolis. Designed by the esteemed architect, Joseph Reed, and completed in 1867, St. Michael's Uniting Church is a remarkable example of Victorian-era design. With its intricate stonework, pointed arches, and soaring spire, this majestic place of worship has long been a beloved landmark for both locals and visitors alike. The etching, produced circa 1917 by the skilled hand of John Shirlow, offers a unique perspective on this iconic Melbourne landmark. The large Gothic spire of St. Michael's Uniting Church dominates the scene, its dark, imposing silhouette contrasting sharply against the bright, open sky. The intricate details of the church's facade are expertly rendered, from the delicate tracery of its windows to the ornate carvings adorning its walls. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the distant sounds of horse-drawn carriages and the lively chatter of passersby. The Collins Street of yesteryear may be long gone, but the enduring beauty of St. Michael's Uniting Church remains, a cherished piece of Melbourne's storied past.
