EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching captures the charm and character of Old Sydney with its depiction of The Wooden Bridge in Pyrmont, circa 1921. The lengthy wooden bridge, spanning the tranquil waters of Pyrmont Bay, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early settlers. The bridge, which connected Pyrmont to the Rocks area of Sydney, was a vital link for the local community, enabling them to cross the waters and access essential services and amenities. The intricate details of the etching reveal the intricacies of the bridge's design, with its weathered wooden planks, sturdy supports, and delicate ropes securing the handrails. The surrounding landscape is equally captivating, with the lush greenery of the trees and shrubs contrasting beautifully with the textured water and the rugged rocks that line the shore. The Wooden Bridge in Pyrmont is a cherished piece of Sydney's history, and this etching offers a unique glimpse into the past. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of the busy waterfront, the sounds of the boats and the laughter of the people as they crossed the bridge to go about their daily lives. This etching is a tribute to the enduring spirit of Sydney and its people, and a reminder of the rich history that continues to shape the city today. The March of the Women Collection, from which this etching is taken, is an extensive archive of historical prints and photographs, offering a fascinating insight into the social, cultural, and political history of Australia and New Zealand. This particular etching, with its exquisite detail and evocative imagery, is a standout piece that is sure to inspire wonder and curiosity in anyone who views it.
