EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching showcases the iconic Prince's Bridge in Melbourne, Australia, as it appeared around 1916. The bridge, which opened in 1888, is a testament to the city's rich history and engineering prowess. Stretching across the Yarra River, the bridge spans a significant length of 242km, making it an essential landmark in Melbourne's urban landscape. Prince's Bridge, named after Prince George, the Duke of York, is a suspension bridge that connects the Southbank area with the inner city. Its elegant design, featuring two graceful towers and intricate ironwork, has captivated the hearts of Melburnians and visitors alike for generations. The Yarra River, which the bridge gracefully spans, is Melbourne's longest river, stretching 242km from its source in the Great Dividing Range to its mouth in Port Philip Bay. The river's meandering course has shaped the city's development and continues to be an integral part of its identity. This etching, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a fascinating glimpse into Melbourne's past. The intricate details of the bridge's design and the peaceful scene on the riverbank offer a tranquil moment of reflection, transporting us back in time to a bygone era.
