EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Messrs Arthurs Sheep Station, with one of the volcanic wells" takes us back to early morning in 1847 South Australia. The image showcases a picturesque landscape with Mount Schank standing majestically in the distance. The focal point of the print is a sheep station owned by Messrs Arthurs, surrounded by vast scrub land and rolling hills. In the foreground, we see a pulley system at work as settlers draw water from one of the volcanic wells. This scene beautifully captures the essence of rural life during this time period. George French Angas, renowned for his detailed illustrations and writings about Australia, created this engraving as part of his book "South Australia Illustrated". The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every brushstroke and line. As we delve into this historical piece, it's impossible not to appreciate the determination and resilience exhibited by these early Australian settlers. Their huts dotting the landscape serve as reminders of their hard work and dedication to building a new life in an unfamiliar land. This enchanting print from Bridgeman Images allows us to glimpse into a moment frozen in time - an era when immigration shaped Australia's identity and its people forged ahead despite challenges. It serves as both a testament to our past and an inspiration for future generations.
