EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the New South Wales Room of Minerals and Rocks at the Centennial International Exhibition held in Melbourne, Australia in 1888. The artist, O Shamessy, skillfully depicts this commemorative event that marked a significant milestone in Australian history - the centenary of the arrival of the First Fleet. The photograph showcases a magnificent Victorian building housing an impressive collection of minerals and rocks from New South Wales. The interior is adorned with intricate details and architectural elements, transporting viewers back to the 19th century. A mythical figure resembling Atlas stands proudly as if guarding this treasure trove of geological wonders. As one gazes upon this image, it evokes a sense of awe for both Australia's natural resources and its rich cultural heritage. The exhibition served as a platform to showcase Australia's progress within the British Empire while celebrating its unique identity as a nation. Through this monochrome artwork, we are transported to a bygone era where visitors would have marveled at these exhibits from inside this remarkable structure. It serves as a reminder not only of Australia's geological diversity but also its ability to host grand events that captivate audiences from around the world. This print is an invaluable historical artifact that allows us to appreciate both artistry and history intertwined within one frame.
