EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Melbourne Illustrated, in the Chinese Quarter" takes us back to 19th century Australia, specifically to the bustling streets of Melbourne's Chinatown. The engraving, created by an English School artist and now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the vibrant life within this historic neighborhood. The image showcases Fook Shing, the entrance gate that welcomes visitors into Chinatown. Its ornate design and intricate details reflect the rich cultural heritage of its inhabitants. As we venture further into this enchanting world, we witness various scenes unfolding before our eyes. In one corner, a group gathers around a fan tan table - a popular gambling game at the time - engrossed in their play. A detective stands nearby with an air of mystery surrounding him as he observes their every move. Meanwhile, another individual enjoys his meal at a Chinese eating house filled with tantalizing aromas and flavors unique to this cuisine. The photograph captures both everyday moments and significant aspects of life within Melbourne's Chinese community during that era. It serves as a valuable historical record showcasing not only their customs but also their contributions to Australian society. Through this mesmerizing composition from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the sights and sounds of Melbourne's Chinese Quarter – an important chapter in Australia's multicultural history.
