EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Melbourne in 1886. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn towards the east, where a thriving metropolis begins to unfold before us. Melbourne, the state capital and largest city of Victoria, Australia, was still in its early years when this picture was taken. Founded just over fifty years prior in 1835 and named after Lord Melbourne, the British Prime Minister at that time, it had already started to establish itself as a vibrant urban center. The wood engraving from Picturesque Atlas of Australasia allows us to witness Melbourne's growth during this era. The intricate details captured by Andrew Garran under Frederic B Schell's supervision transport us into a world filled with architectural wonders. From towering buildings to quaint lanes and avenues lined with charming rooftops, every element tells a story of progress and ambition. This monochrome masterpiece not only showcases Melbourne's physical transformation but also provides insight into life during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how far this great city has come since its humble beginnings. As we admire this historical gem created by Andrew Garran and Frederic B Schell alongside an unknown artist or photographer who played their part in preserving these moments for future generations through prints like these - let us appreciate the rich heritage that lies within each stroke of ink on paper.
