EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined by Chinese Cheap Labour" takes us back to the 19th century, shedding light on a significant historical event. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a scene from New South Wales, Australia. Published in The Graphic on December 19,1891, it highlights the detrimental impact of Chinese migrant labor on Australian agriculture. In this thought-provoking image, we see an inspector reading a notice while tailing a group of hunters through the Australian outback. His skin listens intently as he uncovers a secret that has caused great distress among local farmers and landowners. Seated beside him is the chairman of an agricultural association who appears deeply concerned about their predicament. The engraving captures the essence of this era's challenges: ruined crops and diminishing success due to cheap labor provided by Chinese migrants. It also hints at cultural tensions between Australians and these workers who played a crucial role in shaping Oceania's history. Amidst the picturesque landscape dotted with puzzles for our imagination to solve lies a dingo lurking nearby – perhaps symbolizing both danger and resilience within Australia's farming community during those times. This photograph print serves as both documentation and reminder of how economic factors intertwined with social dynamics can shape nations' histories. It invites viewers to reflect upon past struggles while appreciating how far society has come since then.
