EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mesmerizing coastal town of Queenscliff in Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia, during the year 1886. The artist behind this remarkable wood engraving is none other than Frederic B Schell, who skillfully captures the essence of this picturesque location. Port Phillip Bay stretches out majestically before our eyes, its tranquil waters reflecting the beauty of the surrounding cliffs. The bay's significance is further emphasized by Melbourne's presence at its northern end. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can almost feel a gentle sea breeze caressing our faces and hear the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore. The beachfront comes alive with people enjoying their day by the seashore. Families stroll along the coast while children build sandcastles near towering cliffs that stand as silent sentinels overlooking this idyllic setting. This snapshot from Australasia's Picturesque Atlas transports us to a bygone era when life was simpler yet filled with natural wonders waiting to be explored. Andrew Garran expertly illustrates under Frederic B Schell's supervision, capturing every intricate detail through his wood engraving technique. Monochrome hues lend an air of nostalgia to this nineteenth-century masterpiece, evoking a sense of awe for both nature and human craftsmanship. As we admire this print collector's work today, let it serve as a reminder of Australia's rich geography and heritage—a timeless testament to Queenscliff's enduring charm on Port Phillip
