EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the early days of Launceston, Tasmania, showcases the majestic Custom House, a significant architectural landmark of the city pre-1900. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of Victorian and Edwardian grandeur. The Custom House, an imposing structure with its red-brick facade and tall, arched windows, stands proudly against the backdrop of a tranquil harbor. The intricate details of the building's architecture are on full display, from the ornate cornices and balustrades to the elegant chimneys adorned with terracotta pots. The lantern-lit Custom House is a beacon of the British Empire's colonial presence in Tasmania. The lanterns, casting a warm, inviting glow, illuminate the Custom House's entrance, welcoming seafaring traders and travelers to the shores of Launceston. The image is a testament to the bustling trade activities that once thrived in this port city. The photograph, taken pre-1900, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Tasmania and its role in the broader Australian colonial narrative. The Custom House, with its grandeur and significance, is a symbol of the economic and cultural exchanges that took place during this period. This vintage photograph, with its intriguing story and historical value, is a must-have for anyone interested in Tasmanian history, colonialism, or simply appreciating the beauty of bygone eras. The image is a precious reminder of the past, offering a window into a time when the world was more connected than ever before, and the Custom House of Launceston stood as a testament to that interconnectedness.
