EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to early 1900s Melbourne, Australia, where General Gordon's Monument stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The monument, dedicated to the memory of General Charles Gordon, is a significant historical landmark that continues to capture the imagination of visitors to this day. General Charles Gordon, an English soldier and administrator, gained fame for his military exploits in China and Sudan during the late 19th century. His bravery and leadership earned him the nickname 'Chinese Gordon' and 'Gordon of Khartoum.' After his death during the Siege of Khartoum in 1885, public sentiment in Australia led to the construction of this monument in his honor. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the monument in its early years. The image showcases the intricate details of the monument, including the statue of General Gordon atop the pedestal, the inscription on the base, and the ornate lantern at the foot of the monument. The Victorian and Edwardian influences are evident in the architectural details, such as the intricate ironwork and the use of sandstone. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, with the surrounding landscape and the people who frequented the area. The trees and greenery add a sense of tranquility, while the horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians in the background provide a reminder of the time period. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Melbourne and the enduring legacy of General Charles Gordon. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the historical significance of this iconic monument.
