EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled 'Governor Bourke Hotel, Old Sydney,' transports us back in time to circa 1917. The image, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the historic Governor Bourke Hotel, located in the heart of Old Sydney. Two horse-drawn carts are prominently featured in the scene, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the city. The Governor Bourke Hotel, named after Sir Thomas Mitchell Bourke, the 12th Governor of New South Wales from 1877 to 1882, was a significant establishment during the early 20th century. The hotel's grandeur is evident in the intricate details of the etching, with its ornate facade and elegant columns. The presence of the horse-drawn carts outside the hotel underscores the importance of transportation during this era. Horses were the primary mode of transportation for both personal and commercial use, making the streets of Old Sydney a lively hub of activity. The etching also provides a glimpse into the rich history of Sydney, a city that has undergone remarkable transformation over the past century. The image serves as a reminder of the city's past, when horse-drawn carts were a common sight on the streets and the Governor Bourke Hotel was a symbol of elegance and sophistication. This etching is not only an aesthetic delight but also an invaluable historical document, offering us a glimpse into the past and the evolution of Sydney's urban landscape. It is a testament to the city's rich history and the enduring charm of its bygone era.
