This print captures the essence of Fremantle in 1886, a small settlement that has now transformed into a bustling city within the Perth metropolitan area on Australia's western coast. The artist, Julian Ashton, skillfully depicts the town as it was during this time period. The wood engraving is taken from the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, Vol II, which was illustrated under the supervision of Frederic B Schell. This particular image showcases Fremantle's coastal location and its significance as a port town in colonial Australia. The monochrome landscape portrays an enchanting view of Fremantle against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. It offers a glimpse into life in Western Australia during the 19th century, with its quaint buildings and charming streets. Julian Ashton's artistic talent shines through in this detailed wood engraving. His attention to detail brings out every aspect of Fremantle's unique character and charm. The print collector Andrew Garran played an instrumental role in preserving this historical artwork for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as a testament to both history and artistry. It allows us to travel back in time and experience what life was like in Fremantle over a century ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how much our world has evolved while still cherishing our rich heritage.
