EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Sturt-Street, Ballarat, Victoria in the late 19th century. The engraving, created by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News on February 2nd, 1889, offers a glimpse into the bustling street scenes of Australia during this era. The image showcases a lively scene with horse-drawn carriages traversing the cobblestone road. It beautifully captures the essence of Victorian transport and highlights the significance of horses as an integral part of daily life. These magnificent animals were not only used for transportation but also played a vital role in agriculture and farming practices. Sturt-Street itself is depicted with intricate detail, showcasing its architectural beauty and charm. The buildings lining the street exude character and tell stories of their own. This engraving provides us with a window into history, allowing us to imagine what life was like during this period. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and space. It serves as a reminder that even though times may change, there will always be elements that connect us to our past – whether it's through architecture or our relationship with animals such as horses who have been companions throughout human history.
