EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Melbourne in the early 1900s. The image showcases two prominent landmarks that still stand tall today - the Parliament Houses and Grand Hotel, which has since transformed into the State Library of Victoria. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a horse-drawn carriage parked outside the grand entrance of the hotel, hinting at a bygone era when such carriages were a common mode of transportation. A well-dressed man stands nearby, perhaps waiting for his ride or simply taking in the sights. The sepia tones add an air of nostalgia to this turn-of-the-century scene, transporting us back to a time when lawmaking decisions were made within those very walls. The Parliament Houses exude an aura of power and authority while standing as symbols of democracy. Meanwhile, the Grand Hotel's elegant architecture speaks volumes about its luxurious past. Today, it houses knowledge instead of guests but retains its majestic presence as part of Melbourne's rich history. This photograph captures not only architectural beauty but also serves as a reminder that cities like Melbourne have evolved over time while preserving their heritage. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed since then and appreciate how these iconic buildings continue to shape our present-day landscape.
