EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Port Adelaide in 1886, offering a glimpse into the bustling maritime activity of the time. The wood engraving, skillfully illustrated under the supervision of Frederic B Schell, showcases a picturesque scene from Australasia's past. In this snapshot of history, we witness a vibrant harbor teeming with various forms of water transport. A paddle steamer gracefully glides through the calm waters, leaving behind trails of smoke that blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. Alongside it stands an impressive steamship adorned with intricate rigging and sails billowing in the wind. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every line etched onto paper brings to life the essence of 19th-century Australia. From afar, one can observe other ships dotting the horizon as they navigate their way through South Australia's coastal waters. Port Adelaide itself emerges as a vital hub for trade and commerce during this era. Its strategic location attracts vessels from near and far, making it an essential gateway for goods entering or departing Australasia. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece by Andrew Garran and Frederic B Schell, we are transported back in time to witness not only a significant geographical feature but also an integral part of Australian history - where sea meets land at Port Adelaide.
