EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Melbourne, Australia in 1895. The image showcases Collins Street, one of the city's iconic avenues, as seen from Russell Street. In this snapshot of history, we witness Melbourne's first trams making their way along the road. These horse-drawn vehicles were introduced in 1884 and played a significant role in transforming transportation within the city. As our gaze extends into the distance, we catch sight of Prince Alfreds Tower, which proudly stands atop Melbourne Town Hall. This clock tower serves as a timeless symbol of civic pride and architectural grandeur. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this scene frozen in time. Every detail captured by George Newnes Ltd transports us back to a bygone era - from the elegant buildings lining both sides of Collins Street to the tramlines that pave its path. This remarkable photograph is part of "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd in London during 1895. It offers us a glimpse into not only Melbourne's past but also global perspectives on urban development at that time. With its rich historical significance and stunning composition, this print serves as a testament to human progress while reminding us how much cities like Melbourne have evolved over centuries.
