EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Heidelberg Road: A Journey Through Time (circa 1917) Step back in time with this etching of Old Heidelberg Road in Victoria, Australia. Dated circa 1917, this print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the winding road as it meanders through the picturesque landscape. The steep, rocky banks on each side of the road add to the rugged beauty of the scene, evoking a sense of adventure and discovery. Located in the heart of Victoria, Old Heidelberg Road was once a vital connection between Melbourne and the Yarra Valley region. The road's name is believed to have originated from the German settlement of Heidelberg, which was established in the mid-1800s. The community thrived on agriculture, particularly wine production, and the road was essential for transporting goods to and from the bustling city of Melbourne. This etching, from the esteemed March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of Old Heidelberg Road during a bygone era. The intricate details of the etching bring the landscape to life, allowing us to imagine the horse-drawn carriages and wagons that once traversed the winding path. The steep banks, covered in lush vegetation, provide a stark contrast to the narrow road, emphasizing the rugged terrain of the area. As you explore this beautiful print, take a moment to appreciate the history and charm of Old Heidelberg Road. This etching serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and natural beauty that can be found in Victoria, Australia.
