EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching, titled 'Old St. James, Melbourne' and dated 1912, captures a moment in time outside the historic St. James Old Cathedral in Melbourne, Australia. The image beautifully depicts a gentleman, dressed in a suit and hat, leisurely standing on a tree-lined pathway with his loyal dog by his side. The tranquility of the scene is further accentuated by the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees and casting dainty shadows on the ground. The etching, created by the skilled hand of Victor Ernest Cobb, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The Old St. James Cathedral, established in 1838, stands proudly in the background, its Gothic Revival architecture a testament to the rich history and heritage of Melbourne. The gentlemen's attire and the dog's elegant pose suggest an air of sophistication and refinement, making this etching a treasured piece of art that evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The intricate details and textures captured in the etching showcase Cobb's mastery of the medium, making it a must-have for any collection focused on Melbourne's history or the art of etching. This image, part of the esteemed March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of life, while reminding us of the enduring beauty and significance of Melbourne's architectural and historical landmarks.
