Alexander Australian Clocktower Etching Platform Shirlow Steeples Visible Waterside 1923

EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled 'Yarraside' and dated circa 1923, offers a glimpse into the past of an Australian city, with its picturesque waterside platform nestled along the shores of a tranquil lake. The intricate details of the image reveal a scene of serenity and charm, as the platform extends into the water, inviting passengers to embark on a journey across the lake. In the background, the silhouettes of the city's iconic clocktower and steeples rise majestically against the sky, adding a sense of history and tradition to the scene. The Australian city, though unnamed, exudes a unique character that transports us back in time. The etching, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is the work of renowned Australian artist John Alexander Thomas Shirlow. Shirlow's masterful use of etching techniques brings the scene to life, capturing the essence of the city and its surroundings in a way that is both timeless and evocative. The image invites us to imagine the hustle and bustle of the city beyond the lake, while also allowing us to appreciate the simple beauty of the waterside platform and the lake itself. The etching is a testament to the power of art to transport us to different places and times, offering a glimpse into the past and a moment of respite from the present.
