EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching captures the historic Supreme Court of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, as it stood around 1918. Designed by architects Alfred Louis Smith and Arthur Ebden Johnson and completed in 1884, the grand building is a testament to the architectural prowess of the time. The image reveals a serene foreground filled with lush parkland, where people of all walks of life gather. A horse-drawn cart adds a touch of nostalgia, as it transports goods through the picturesque scene. The Supreme Court of Victoria, with its intricate details and imposing presence, stands proudly in the background, a symbol of justice and authority. This etching, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into Melbourne's rich history and the daily life of its residents over a century ago.
