EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, published in 1899, offers a historical glimpse into the scenic city of Hobart, Tasmania. The print showcases the charming beauty and rich heritage of this Australian island state's capital. With its origins dating back to 1804 as a British penal colony, Hobart holds the distinction of being Australia's second-oldest capital city after Sydney. The image portrays a panoramic view of Hobart, capturing its architectural marvels and natural surroundings. The intricate details etched onto wood bring to life the bustling streets lined with colonial-era buildings that still stand proudly today. As one gazes upon this print, they are transported back in time to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobblestone lanes. Hobart's picturesque location at the foothills of Mount Wellington adds another layer of allure to this historic scene. The majestic mountain looms in the background, providing a stunning backdrop for an already enchanting cityscape. This juxtaposition between urban development and untouched wilderness is characteristic of Tasmania's unique charm. As we admire this vintage artwork by ZU_09 from Australian Views, we are reminded not only of Hobart's fascinating past but also its vibrant present as a thriving cultural hub. From its world-renowned Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) to its lively waterfront precincts and renowned food scene, Hobart continues to captivate visitors from around the globe. In essence, this wood engraving encapsulates both nostalgia for days gone
