EDITORS COMMENTS
King William Street looking south, Adelaide, Australia, 1895 captures the essence of a bustling cityscape frozen in time. This print takes us back to the late 19th century, where horse-drawn vehicles traverse the road alongside early trams. The focal point of this architectural marvel is undoubtedly the clock tower of Adelaide Town Hall on the left-hand side. Completed in 1866, its grandeur stands tall against a backdrop of elegant buildings lining King William Street. The monochrome palette adds a timeless charm to this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to an era when transportation was still evolving. Horses trot along the lane while streetcars glide effortlessly through the city streets. It's fascinating to witness how urban life unfolded during that period. This remarkable photograph comes from 'Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago', published by George Newnes Ltd in London. Its inclusion in this collection speaks volumes about its significance as a visual representation of Adelaide's rich heritage. The print itself was created by York & Son Ltd. , renowned for their expertise in capturing stunning landscapes and cityscapes across various locations. Their attention to detail is evident as every element within this composition harmoniously blends together.
