This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Pitt Street, Sydney in 1886. The artist, WC Fitler, skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant cityscape during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this wood engraving from the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, Vol I, by Andrew Garran, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages dominated the roads. The scene is filled with movement and activity as people go about their daily lives amidst impressive buildings that line both sides of Pitt Street. This snapshot into history allows us to witness a moment in time where transportation played a vital role in connecting communities and facilitating commerce. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this image, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the years while also highlighting the enduring beauty of Sydney's architecture and urban landscape. As we admire this remarkable piece created under Frederic B Schell's supervision, it sparks our curiosity about life in Australia during that era.
