EDITORS COMMENTS
Brisbane: Les Terres Du Pacifique, 1914" is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the past of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The image, published in the French magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914, showcases the city's stunning riverfront and architectural landscape. The photograph captures the Brisbane River, meandering through the city, with several bridges connecting the banks. The most prominent structure in the image is the Story Bridge, which was completed in 1940, but the other bridges, such as the Goodna Bridge and the Toowong Bridge, are also visible. The city's skyline is dominated by white and black buildings, some of which still stand today, such as the Old Customs House and the Treasury Building. The background is filled with people, adding a sense of activity and life to the scene. The photograph's title, "Les Terres Du Pacifique," suggests a connection to the Pacific Ocean, which is not directly visible in the image but is implied by the presence of the river. The photograph is a testament to the city's rich history and its transformation from a small colonial outpost to a modern metropolis. It also highlights the cultural exchange that occurred between Australia and Europe during the early 20th century, as evidenced by the publication of the photograph in a French magazine. The photograph's creator is unknown, but it is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images of Brisbane and Australia. The black and white composition adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a captivating piece of visual history.
