Location-wise, given the proximity to the railway it was likely taken from Belgrave-Gembrook Road to the west of Emerald, looking towards the town, though it is unclear exactly where this could have happened. This could also be taken from one of the curves in then railway to the east of Emerald, though the roads it could be taken from were historically limited.This photograph shows an earlier view of Emerald and its surroundings, mostly lacking the development that has effected the land over the past centuries.This item is a modern copy of an older black and white photograph. It is relatively blurry and pixelated, indicating it may have been expanded from a smaller photograph. It depicts an unpaved road; the photographer is standing to the right of the road, looking down it as it approaches from behind the photographer, appears in the bottom-left, ascends a hill and disappears into the top-right of the photograph. Past the road is a landscape mostly of shrubs, bushes, and sparse trees, interrupted by an unclear train with several carriages following the line left, steam emitting from its chimney.. Alongside the road runs what looks like a telegraph line, though depending when this was taken it could carry electricity.Obverse, Caption: "VIEW AT EMERALD"emerald -

This is itself a copy of the original. One of these copies is also accessioned as VEMUP0456.2. This c. 1907 photograph was taken from the intersection of Beaconsfield Road (now Kilvington Drive) and Station Road (now Puffing Billy Place), looking towards Emerald Railway Station. It looks past the Emerald Coffee Palace, a significant establishment serving coffee, wine, and more - a room in the back was even used as a visiting doctor's surgery. The Coffee Palace was, at the time, owned by the O'Connor family and run by Mrs Greatorex. At this time it was relatively new - the second centre of Emerald, around Kilvington Drive, mostly materialised thanks to the location of the railway station. The location of the railway is visible, but from this angle the station and tracks are not visible. Note the posts in front of the Palace - used to tie horses in this time before cars became dominant. There are elevated wires visible running along the left side of the street, which resemble power lines but at this time are more likely to have instead been telegraph cables. This copy was framed in the donor's home after being gifted to him by its previous owner, who bought it from an op-shop in Melbourne.This photograph recounts the growth of Emerald's second town centre around the railway station.This item is a large, slightly yellowed, black and white copy of an older photograph. It depicts an unpaved street leading down a hill to a gate and fence, with several shops to either side. There is a lamp post on the street corner on the right, and a telegraph line running along the left side. In the background, the slope rises back up to a hill with fields and scattered trees.Bottom-right: "STATION RD.

The station stayed open until 1954, but judging by context such as the clothing of the people on the platform, this image was likely taken earlier. While it's possible this is a crowd gathered for the opening of the station, it is difficulty to prove either way and could also just be a crowd of passengers for the normal operation of the line.This image captures a vital element of Emerald's historical development - the railway.This item is a modern coy of an older black and white photograph. The photo captures a steam train entering a railway station from the left of the frame, greeted by a crowd of people standing on the station platform to the right. The train is partially obscured by a shed on the photographer's side of the tracks, likely with implements for train maintenance. Several other buildings are visible behind the station, with trees further in the distance.Obverse, Caption: "Railway Station, Emerald"railway, emerald -

This photograph was taken in 1898 when Emerald was much less densely occupied as a growing town amidst Nobelius' nursery.This photograph captures a side of Emerald that no longer exists, looking at the growing town from an outside that has long since been encompassed by the town.A black and white photograph of a landscape, with various buildings in the background and the road in the foreground.

If the butchery in the photograph - which was likely taken in the first decade of the twentieth century - is indeed Couper's, this photo is likely looking down Main Street from the intersection with Monbulk Road.

The featuring of the nursery - almost certainly Carl Axel Nobelius' nursery - in a postcard indicates its importance to the identity of Emerald in this time, becoming a recognisable major feature of the town. Dates written on the postcard suggest it could have been sent on the 27th of February, 1909, but given its message is wishing the recipient a merry Christmas this may not be accurate unless it was sent from Emerald in 1908 and then sent on from Beaconsfield in 1909.This postcard captures a view of Nobelius' nursery in full operation, taken from a perspective of tourist appeal as a symbol of the town.This item is a faded sepia postcard depicting a view from a hill over a sprawling orchard in the valley. Tall natural trees grow in the background, behind the extensive landscape of ordered fruit trees. There is a patch of bare earth and small plants in the foreground.

They established 'spot mills' - smaller or temporary mills establish on the location of timber harvesting - around the local area, including at least this one and one in Macclesfield - though it is possible the caption is wrong and this IS the mill in Macclesfield. There are at least two other copies of this photograph in our collection.This image depicts a notable local business from the early 20th century, owned by a significant local family.This item is a modern printed copy of a black and white photograph. It depicts an open-walled wooden structure, with a closed roof held up by posts. Behind the main structure is a smaller structure covering a machine with steam flowing out of its chimney - a mechanical component of the mill, making the work of processing timber easier. To the left of the image, several unprocessed logs sit on the ground, while to the right is a pile of processed, cut, timber. Several workers - may five - are in frame, all standing near or under the wooden structure. In the background, dense trees rise above the structure, rising high enough to leave the frame. The reverse of the photograph reveals logos for a modern photograph paper brand and a handwritten accession number, but no other annotation.Obverse, Caption: "Legg's Sawmill Emerald"forestry, industry, emerald, macclesfield, legg family, james legg, percy legg -

Hans Knorr was an abstract sculptor who lived in Emerald until 1979. This Art Gallery was the first privately owned rural art gallery in Victoria. Hans became a pre-eminent sculptor of his generation, working in aluminium, bronze, steel, glass and wood. Much of his work was commissioned for churches and cathedrals in Australia and overseas. Pieces of his work can be found in every state of Australia, USA, Hong Kong, France, England and many other countries. This sketch of the gallery was done as part of the publicity of the launch of the book, 'The Hills of Home: A Bicentennial History of the Sherbrooke Shire', in 1988. As well as doing this particular sketch, Jillienne Winzenried's pen and ink drawings feature throughout this book.

It is part of Melbourne's V.S.M. (Victoria Stamp Market) Series, printed in Prussia, Germany alongside several similar hand-coloured postcards in our collection. This postcard is believed to originate from c. 1900-10, but the image itself - of sluicing for gold on Menzies Creek - might be older. Gold mining in Emerald was most popular in the 1850s and 60s. However, gold mining on Menzies Creek reopened in the 1890s depression, which is a more likely source of this photograph.This postcard is significant for its relative uniqueness as a colourised depiction of Emerald's gold mining history.This postcard is separated into two pieces of paper (between the obverse and reverse). The reverse is a landscape message side with not message but some annotation and an accession number written to the left side, in a portrait orientation. The obverse is in a portrait orientation, with a printed caption in the bottom-right. The image is hand-coloured (colour artificially applied to a black-and-white base photograph) and depicts two men (one of whose head is cut off by damage to the photograph) working in an artificially reinforced channel in what appears to be a creek or stream. One stands in the water while the other is beside it. In the background, the scene fades up the hill into a forest.Obverse, Printed Caption: "Hydraulic Sluicing, / Emerald near Gembrook" Reverse: Printed Vertically: "Printed in Prussia" Printed Horizontally: "elbourne" Handwritten Annotation: "Prospect Bend along the / Menzies Creek near / Emerald Kallista Rd. / GOLD"emerald, 1890s, gold mining -

This postcard was created c. 1907, using the colourful view as advertising to draw more tourists to the region. The guesthouse remained open until 1920. V.S.M.
