EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1875, showcasing the proposed design for Parliament House in Melbourne, Australia. The image reveals an architectural masterpiece that was never realized - a grand dome that would have crowned this iconic government building. Built over several decades between 1856 and 1929, the Parliament of Victoria stands as a symbol of democracy and political power. In this snapshot from history, we witness a bustling scene outside its magnificent walls. Men in top hats and women dressed elegantly stroll along the pathways, while horse-drawn carriages pass by. The atmosphere is vibrant on this sunny day as people engage in lively conversations about politics and governance. The presence of boys adds a touch of youthful curiosity to the scene, reminding us that these decisions shape their future too. Engraved by H. Miller with meticulous detail, every architectural feature is highlighted in stunning clarity - from the intricate pillars to the majestic steps leading up to the entrance. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured by Three Lions photography studio, we are transported back in time to an era where dreams were etched into blueprints but not always brought to life. This photograph serves as a reminder of how even unrealized visions can leave an indelible mark on our collective memory.
