About the Item
Seaside Resorts of Australia – Illustrated London News, 1889
This vibrant hand-colored wood engraving, published in *The Illustrated London News* on October 12, 1889, provides a picturesque look at the seaside leisure activities of 19th-century Australia. The composition is divided into multiple scenes, each offering a glimpse of popular coastal destinations and social pastimes of the time.
The top section highlights a steamship traversing tranquil waters, with the striking You Yangs mountain range visible in the background. This image reflects the importance of maritime travel in connecting communities and providing access to seaside retreats.
The second panel captures a bustling pier scene at Queenscliff. Elegantly dressed men, women, and children stroll along the wooden promenade, engaging in leisure and conversation, showcasing the social customs of Victorian-era seaside outings. The detail in their clothing emphasizes the formality and charm of the period.
Other panels include scenic views of Schnapper Point, St. Kilda, and Sandridge (now Port Melbourne), illustrating the diverse coastal landscapes and their appeal as recreational spots. Families and groups can be seen picnicking on rocky shores, enjoying the sea air, and exploring tidal pools, with children playing by the water. The inclusion of lush greenery and expansive views of the ocean conveys the natural beauty of Australia's coastline.
The hand-coloring enhances the engraving, bringing out the blues of the water, the earth tones of the rocky beaches, and the soft pastels of the clothing and skies. Together, these scenes present a romanticized yet accurate portrayal of seaside leisure during the late 19th century.
This print is a valuable historical record of Australia’s coastal culture and social life, making it an excellent addition for collectors of Victorian-era illustrations, maritime history, or Australian heritage.
