EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, circa 1921, captures the ominous road leading to Sir Redmond Barry's Old House in Melbourne, Australia. Sir Redmond Barry (1813-1880) was a prominent colonial figure, serving as a Judge in Victoria and the inaugural Chancellor of the University of Melbourne. The house, located in the heart of the city, holds a significant place in Australian history for its association with Sir Redmond's role in sentencing Ned Kelly to death in 1880. The image portrays the road leading to the Old House, shrouded in an ethereal mist, creating an air of mystery and intrigue. The imposing structure of the house can be seen in the background, a testament to the power and authority once held by its former resident. Following Sir Redmond's tenure, the Old House became Melbourne's first public library, a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment for the community. The transformation of the house reflects the changing times and the evolving role of public institutions in society. The etching, from the March of the Women Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of Melbourne's rich history and the influential figures who shaped its past. Sir Redmond Barry's Old House stands as a reminder of the complexities of the past, where justice, power, and knowledge intertwine.
