EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Views on the Route of the Projected Railway in the Blue Mountain District of New South Wales" takes us back to 19th century Australia. The image showcases a breathtaking landscape filled with rugged mountains, lush valleys, and meandering rivers. It is an illustration for The Illustrated London News from May 18,1889. The viewer's gaze is drawn towards the Nepean River and Cox River as they wind their way through the picturesque Blue Mountain District. The topography of this region is beautifully captured, showcasing its natural beauty and untamed wilderness. Intriguingly, amidst this untouched scenery lies a projected railway bridge that hints at progress and development in this remote part of New South Wales. Settlers' houses dotting the valley suggest human presence in an otherwise wild environment. This print offers a glimpse into Australian history during a time when railways were being constructed to connect distant regions. It invites us to ponder how such infrastructure would impact not only local settlers but also Australians across South Australia and West Australia. As we admire this artwork by English School (19th Century), we are reminded of Oceania's vastness and diversity—a land waiting to be explored and tamed by those who dare venture into its uncharted territories.
