EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of Adelaide, Australia, taken from the General Post Office (GPO) and looking northeast. The image was captured by Australian photographer Ernest Gall in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The photograph showcases the city's architectural beauty with its grand buildings lining the streets. The GPO itself stands prominently in the foreground, exuding elegance and historical significance. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we are greeted by a bustling cityscape filled with Victorian-era structures that reflect Adelaide's rich history. The monochromatic tones add an air of nostalgia to this scene, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets. It serves as a visual reminder of how much has changed over time while also highlighting aspects that have remained constant throughout Adelaide's evolution. This print was originally used as an illustration for Souvenir of Adelaide, published around 1900 by NSW Bookstall Co. , showcasing Gall's exceptional talent in capturing moments frozen in time. Now preserved within this private collection, it allows us to appreciate both his skill as a photographer and the enduring charm of Adelaide during its early years. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we are reminded not only of Australia's past but also its ability to preserve and celebrate its heritage for generations to come.
