EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Australian Native tracking (engraving)" takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into Australia's rich history of crime and police work. Created by Norman Hardy, this artwork is part of a private collection. The engraving depicts an intense scene where an indigenous Australian native is diligently tracking criminals. The artist skillfully captures the determination on the tracker's face as he follows their trail through rugged terrain. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the important role played by indigenous trackers in law enforcement during that era. Originally published as an illustration for Arthur Griffiths' book "Mysteries of Police and Crime" in 1898, this digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate the intricate details and precision of Hardy's work. Through this print, we are transported to a time when crime-solving relied heavily on human intuition and expertise rather than modern technology. It offers us a window into Australia's past, shedding light on both its criminal underworld and the valiant efforts made by law enforcement officers at that time. Bridgeman Images has done justice to this historical piece by making it available through Fine Art Finder. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us remember those who dedicated their lives to maintaining law and order in our society.
