EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sydney in 1901, showcasing a steam tram gliding through the bustling city streets. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their ability to freeze a moment in time is truly commendable. Steam trams were first introduced for the International Exhibition of 1879 and quickly became an integral part of Sydney's transportation system. As Australia transitioned into a federation and Commonwealth in January 1901, this photograph serves as a visual reminder of the country's historical journey. The backdrop showcases colonial architecture, with charming buildings lining the avenue. People can be seen going about their day, adding life to the scene. A male driver skillfully operates the steam tram, navigating through lanes filled with pedestrians and other forms of road transport. This print not only documents an important mode of public transportation but also provides insight into daily life during that era. It transports us back to a time when Sydney was still evolving as one of Australia's major cities. Preserved by The Werner Company from London in their publication "Federated Australia" this image has now found its way into our hands thanks to Heritage Images' collection. It allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such moments and how far we have come since then.
