EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the stunning scenery of Queenstown, New Zealand in 1895. The unknown creator has beautifully captured Lake Wakatipu and its surrounding mountains, showcasing the natural splendor that has made this town a beloved tourist destination. Queenstown is nestled around Queenstown Bay, an inlet on Lake Wakatipu located on the South Island. In this image, the calm waters of the lake perfectly mirror the majestic peaks towering above them. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the scene, transporting us to a bygone era. As we gaze at this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how little has changed in terms of geography over time. The mountains still stand tall and proud, while Lake Wakatipu continues to provide a serene backdrop for Queenstown's picturesque townscape. This historic snapshot was originally featured in "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd in London during 1895. It serves as a testament to both the enduring beauty of New Zealand's landscapes and our fascination with capturing them through photography. Whether you're familiar with Queenstown or discovering it for the first time through this image, it's impossible not to be captivated by its breathtaking scenery.
