EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Yan Yean Reservoir, a vital water supply for Melbourne, Victoria in Australia. Taken by an Australian photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The Yan Yean Reservoir served as a lifeline for the growing city of Melbourne during the early 1900s. This photograph was originally used as an illustration for "Glimpses of Australia" a publication by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne in 1908. The monochromatic palette adds to the timeless appeal of this image, showcasing the contrast between light and shadow on the reservoir's surface. The composition draws attention to both its vastness and tranquility. As we gaze upon this picture, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to that era when nature played such an essential role in sustaining urban life. It reminds us of how interconnected humans are with their environment and how crucial it is to protect these precious resources. Whether you are an art enthusiast or someone interested in history and environmental conservation, this print offers a glimpse into Australia's past while highlighting our ongoing need to preserve our natural landscapes.
