EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling junction of Queen Street and Eagle Street in Brisbane, Australia, circa 1890. This photograph, captured on an albumen or collodion print, offers a glimpse into the early history of this vibrant city. The image showcases the intersection's lively atmosphere, filled with horse-drawn carriages and wagons, as well as pedestrians going about their daily business. The 19th century scene is a stark contrast to the modern, urban landscape that exists today. Horse traffic dominates the streets, with horses and their riders navigating the intersection with ease. The cobblestone roads, once a common sight in Australian towns and cities, are now a reminder of a bygone era. This photograph is an invaluable cultural and historical resource, providing a window into the transportation methods and urban life of the late 1800s. It also highlights the importance of horses in the daily lives of the people during this period. The image invites us to explore the rich history of Brisbane and the role horses played in shaping its transportation infrastructure. The photograph's intricate details, from the horse's harnesses to the clothing of the pedestrians, add to its allure. This image is a must-have for history enthusiasts, photograph collectors, and anyone interested in the early history of Brisbane and Australia.
