EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Shipping scene at Circular Quay in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia in 1886. The artist, JR Ashton, skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant port city during the 19th century. The image showcases a myriad of activities associated with the shipping industry - from loading and unloading goods to horse-drawn vehicles transporting cargo along the quayside. The waterfront is abuzz with trade and commerce as ships are moored in Port Jackson, Sydney's natural harbor. Wood engraving techniques bring out intricate details that highlight the busy atmosphere of Circular Quay. This print is part of Andrew Garran's Picturesque Atlas of Australasia series, which aimed to showcase various locations across Australia. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that transportation played a crucial role in shaping Sydney's development as a thriving metropolis. The sight of ships lining up against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour reminds us of Australia's rich maritime heritage. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and how it continues to shape our present-day understanding of cities like Sydney.
