Belgrave Steamers – Nostalgia on the Tracks
Step back in time with Belgrave Steamers, a captivating photograph by Jaime Dormer that celebrates Australia’s beloved heritage train, Puffing Billy. Captured in the verdant heart of the Dandenong Ranges, this vibrant scene unites history and nature as the century-old steam engine puffs its way across the iconic trestle bridge. Towering ferns frame the moment, with billowing clouds of steam rising to meet the lush canopy, evoking a sense of timeless charm and adventure.
Jaime Dormer preserves the magic of this journey, reflecting on the experience:
"The sight of Puffing Billy weaving through the Dandenong Ranges is like stepping into a storybook. The harmony between the gentle chugging of the engine, the scent of the forest, and the misty plumes of steam creates a scene that’s both nostalgic and exhilarating. Capturing this moment felt like honouring a piece of living history."

Framing the Image
Frame Details:
The photograph is presented in an elegant, contemporary frame designed to elevate and preserve the artwork. It is encased in a prestige white Majorca moulding, complemented by clarity UV70 glass to ensure protection against light exposure. The use of double acid-free white matting, accented by a Dawsons hand-made dark oaka linen and a silver fillet, provides a refined contrast that enhances the photograph’s vivid colors and depth.
The image is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a museum-quality 100% cotton paper that brings out the photograph's rich tones and details. To protect and maintain the integrity of the print, three coatings of Hahnemühle protective surface spray have been meticulously applied in a crosshatch pattern.
