EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this pre-1900 photograph of Tasmania's Launceston Cataract Gorge, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us to a bygone era, evoking the spirit of the Victorian and Edwardian eras during the height of British colonialism in Australia. The serene beauty of the Cataract Gorge, located in the heart of Launceston, is showcased in all its splendor. The crystal-clear waters of the South Esk River cascade over the basalt cliffs, creating a mesmerizing scene of power and tranquility. The natural wonder, with its lush greenery and towering trees, stands in stark contrast to the industrial elements of the era, such as the vintage lanterns and the suspension bridge, which were used to illuminate the area and provide access to visitors. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when Launceston was a bustling colonial town and a popular destination for tourists from around the British Empire. The image invites us to imagine the excitement and wonder that travelers must have felt as they explored the natural beauty of Tasmania, a far-off land full of adventure and discovery. As we gaze at this vintage photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance of Tasmania and its connection to the broader story of colonialism and exploration in Australia. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection continues to preserve and share these precious moments from the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of Tasmania and the world around us.
