EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1890s captures a large flock of sheep in New Zealand, showcasing the country's rich agricultural history. The image, taken by a New Zealand photographer of the 19th century, is a testament to the importance of sheep farming in the region during that time.
The sheer number of sheep in this photograph is truly impressive, highlighting the vast open landscapes that were ideal for grazing. The meticulous detail captured in this image allows us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of rural life in New Zealand over a century ago.
This photo was featured in The Imperial Album of New Zealand Scenery, published in 1897 by McKee & Gamble and Wheeler & Son. Both companies played significant roles in documenting and preserving the visual history of New Zealand through photography and engraving.
As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we are transported back to a time when agriculture was at the heart of New Zealand's economy. It serves as a reminder of how far the country has come since then while also honoring its roots and traditions.
