EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Macquarie Street, Sydney, in the late 19th century. Captured by Howard Willoughby and published by the Religious Tract Society in London in 1886, this lithograph offers a glimpse into the colonial architecture and vibrant city life of Australia during this era. The image showcases a lively street scene filled with an array of horse-drawn carriages, pedestrians going about their daily routines, and a sense of constant movement. The architectural details are striking, with grand buildings lining both sides of Macquarie Street. One can't help but be drawn to the loggia featured prominently on one side - its intricate design adding elegance to the overall composition. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that Macquarie Street was not only a hub for transportation but also served as a social gathering place for locals. The energy captured within these frames is palpable; it's as if we can almost hear the clatter of hooves on cobblestones and feel the excitement emanating from every corner. This remarkable piece transports us back to an era long gone yet forever preserved through art. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while still retaining elements that make them unique. Whether you're fascinated by Australian history or simply appreciate fine art photography, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you straight into Sydney's past.
