EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of St. Marys Cathedral and Convent in Hobart, Tasmania, back in 1901. The architectural masterpiece was built on the foundation stone laid in 1860 by William Wardell, a talented student of Augustus Pugin. The convent, founded by the Presentation Sisters in 1868, stands proudly beside the cathedral, creating a harmonious religious complex that has stood the test of time. This image is sourced from "Federated Australia" published by The Werner Company in London during that era. The photograph showcases the stunning exterior of both buildings against a backdrop of an avenue lined with trees. It offers us a glimpse into colonial Australia's rich history and its deep-rooted association with Christianity. As we gaze upon this remarkable vista frozen in time, we are transported to an era when religion played a significant role in shaping communities and their values. The road leading up to St. Marys Cathedral invites us to imagine pilgrims making their way towards spiritual enlightenment or seeking solace within these sacred walls. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by architects like Wardell and Pugin who contributed greatly to Australian architecture during this period. It reminds us of our country's diverse cultural heritage and encourages us to appreciate its historical significance for generations to come.
