EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The native police of the West" offers a glimpse into the early twentieth century in Australia. The image showcases a group of Australian native policemen proudly posing for the camera, exuding both danger and pride. Taken from "The World and its People" an extensive tour of all lands by Charles F Horne, this illustration captures the essence of Oceania's geography and its people. The men depicted here represent not only their country but also evoke a range of emotions within viewers. In this print, one can sense a mix of pretension and vanity among these officers as they stand tall with their uniforms adorned with badges. Their expressions reveal feelings that are deeply rooted in history - perhaps stemming from Australia's colonial past or even reflecting the seven deadly sins. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported to an era where risk was inherent in everyday life. These brave individuals were tasked with maintaining law and order in South Australia and West Australia during challenging times. "The native police of the West" is more than just an artistic creation; it serves as a historical document that allows us to explore early twentieth-century Australia through the lens of those who protected its communities. This lithograph reminds us that every image has stories to tell if we take the time to listen closely.
