EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Auckland in 1860. The view showcases the new commercial embankment, a testament to the rapid growth and development of this vibrant New Zealand metropolis during the 19th century. The engraving, originally featured in The Illustrated London News on May 10th, 1860, captures an expansive landscape that stretches from the harbor to the city's skyline. Ships dotting the water transport goods and people, highlighting Auckland's importance as a port city. The Victorian-era charm is evident in every detail of this monochrome scene. The intricate architectural designs of buildings along the embankment reflect both elegance and functionality. It is fascinating to imagine how these structures played a vital role in facilitating trade and commerce at that time. As we gaze upon this historical artwork by an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to witness Auckland's transformation into a thriving urban center. This print serves as a valuable reminder of our shared heritage and offers glimpses into life during Aotearoa's early days.
