EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1890s showcases the Viaduct in Weka Pass, New Zealand. The intricate details of this historic structure are beautifully captured by the skilled New Zealand Photographer of the 19th century.
The Viaduct stands as a testament to the engineering marvels of its time, serving both practical and aesthetic purposes in the rugged landscape of New Zealand. As part of The Imperial Album of New Zealand Scenery, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and natural beauty of Aotearoa.
Wheeler & Son photographers in Christchurch and McKee & Gamble Photo Engravers in Wellington collaborated to bring this stunning scene to life on film. Their expertise shines through in every detail, from the shadows cast by sunlight to the texture of each stone used in construction.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when progress was measured not only by technological advancements but also by respect for nature's grandeur. This print serves as a reminder that even as time marches forward, there is always value in preserving our past for future generations to appreciate.
