EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Parliament House, Melbourne, taken around 1890 by Charles Wilkinson, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Australia's political hub. The image showcases a magnificent architectural masterpiece against a backdrop of vibrant sunlight. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the significant role that women played in shaping the country's politics. In the foreground, a group of elegantly dressed females can be seen strolling along the lane adjacent to Parliament House. Their presence symbolizes the growing influence and participation of women in Australian society during that era. This photograph captures not only their physical presence but also their determination and resilience as they navigate through a male-dominated world. The grandeur and intricate details of Parliament House stand tall behind them, representing power and authority. Its facade exudes an air of sophistication while blending harmoniously with its surroundings. This iconic building serves as a testament to Australia's rich history and democratic values. As we delve deeper into this image, our eyes are drawn towards a book held by one woman among the group. It hints at knowledge-seeking and intellectual pursuits prevalent during that time period – perhaps even alluding to scientific advancements such as astronomy or exploration beyond Earth's boundaries. Overall, this historical print offers us an invaluable glimpse into 19th-century Melbourne – capturing both its architectural beauty and societal progressiveness amidst political affairs.
