EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Part of the Town and Harbour of Dunedin, the Capital of Otago, New Zealand" takes us back to a bygone era. Created by Richard Principal Leitch in 1862, this print offers a glimpse into the bustling cityscape of Dunedin during that time. The image showcases the harmonious blend of nature and architecture as it captures the town's stunning harbor surrounded by charming buildings. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate facades to the delicate masts dotting the harbor. It transports us to a time when sailing ships were a common sight along these shores. Dunedin, known as Otago's capital city, exudes an air of grandeur and promise. Its vibrant streets are filled with life and activity; one can almost hear echoes of footsteps on cobblestones and snippets of conversations carried by gentle sea breezes. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News in August 1862 – a testament to its historical significance. Preserved meticulously over time, this piece now resides within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene captured through Leitch's skilled hand, we are reminded that even amidst progress and change, some things remain constant: our fascination with cities' allure and their ability to transport us across space and time.
