The image showcases a scene of vibrant activity as horse-drawn carts navigate the harbourside, laden with newly-delivered goods. Captured by S. C. Smith from the Topical Press Agency/Getty Images collection, this archival piece offers a fascinating insight into an era long gone. The composition is strikingly monochromatic, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow.

The carts are stacked high with crates and boxes - symbols of commerce and trade that were vital to Wellington's growth during that time. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that Queen's Wharf was not only a mode of transport but also a hub for finance and transportation. This commercial dock served as an essential link connecting businesses to other parts of Australasia. Beyond its historical significance lies an artistic charm; the photograph captures both human interest and animal themes in one frame. It invites viewers to imagine themselves amidst this lively scene filled with energy and purpose. With every detail meticulously preserved in this fine art print, S.
