EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Melbourne in the late 19th century. Captured by an Australian photographer, this historical image showcases the iconic corner of Collins and Elizabeth Streets. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are instantly drawn into a world filled with charm and nostalgia. The composition reveals Collins Street on the right, stretching towards the west, while Elizabeth Street extends southwards on the left. It is a visual feast for history enthusiasts who long to witness how these vibrant streets looked during that era. The photograph was originally featured in "Souvenir of Victoria" a publication by Osboldstone around 1900. These images were believed to have been taken in the 1890s, providing us with an authentic glimpse into life at that time. The attention to detail captured within this frame is remarkable. From horse-drawn carriages traversing along cobblestone roads to elegantly dressed pedestrians going about their daily routines, every element tells a story of its own. This historic photograph serves as a testament to Melbourne's rich heritage and its evolution over time. It invites us to reflect upon our connection with both local history and global progress. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this mesmerizing piece of artistry that captures not only an intersection but also an entire era frozen in time.
