Step back in time with Echuca Wharf ~ 2019, a stunning photograph by Jaime Dormer that captures the timeless charm of this historic Australian landmark. Located on the banks of the mighty Murray River, Echuca Wharf once stood as a bustling hub of river trade and economic prosperity. Dormer's keen eye and dedication bring the rich heritage of this wharf to life—where echoes of paddle steamers, vibrant trade, and industrious pioneers still linger.
"Echuca is ideally located as the nearest point on the Murray River to Melbourne and an important river crossing point to New South Wales. This geography ensured its early development and cemented its place in history as a thriving river port city following its founding in 1854.
Echuca Wharf is an impressive survivor of the Murray River trade of the late 1800s, attesting to the critical role that the river trade played in the pastoral boom and the rapid economic growth and development of the colonies during this time. The building of the original wharf commenced in 1864 and was completed in 1867. As the trade grew, so did the wharf, being extended in 1877, and 1879, with final extensions in 1884 ultimately reaching 332 metres in length."
Taken in the calm light of early evening, Jaime Dormer patiently captured the grandeur of the wharf, bathed in the warm hues of dusk as the sun slowly descended. The sky glows softly with the day’s last light, and the reflection of the wharf and historic paddle steamers are perfectly mirrored in the serene waters below. Dormer's precision and timing bring a vivid and detailed portrayal of this iconic scene, evoking nostalgia for the Murray River’s golden age of trade.
The high-resolution quality of the print ensures that every detail of the historic timber structure, the gleaming paddlesteamers, and the tranquillity of the river is beautifully captured. The gentle warmth of the sunset adds depth and atmosphere to the image, while Dormer’s composition provides an unobstructed view that invites viewers to take in every inch of this heritage-rich setting.

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.
