EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Australian history - the Federation of Australia. Taken in May 1901, the image showcases a grand procession marking the opening of the Federal Parliament as it makes its way down Swanston Street in Melbourne. The high angle view allows us to appreciate the full length of this historic event, with a diverse crowd lining the streets to witness this monumental occasion. The architectural features of Melbourne's buildings serve as an impressive backdrop for this parade, emphasizing both the importance and pride associated with Australia's new government. The vertical composition adds depth and drama to the scene, highlighting how politics has united people from all walks of life on this special day. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance that political milestones hold for a nation. This image encapsulates not only a historical moment but also represents hope and progress for Australia as it embarks on its journey towards unity and self-governance. With no mention of commercial use or any specific company involved, we can purely appreciate this photograph as an invaluable piece of Australian heritage captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images.
