EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the impressive Broken Hill Proprietary Company's smelters at Port Pirie, South Australia. Taken by an Australian photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph was originally used as an illustration for "Glimpses of Australia" a publication by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne back in 1908. In this striking image, we see the industrial zone of Port Pirie filled with smoke billowing from the smelters. The sight evokes a sense of power and strength associated with the steel industry. The black and white composition adds to its timeless appeal, transporting us back to early twentieth-century Australia. The photo showcases skilled craftsmen working diligently amidst their craft, surrounded by coal and steel works. Their handywork contributes to shaping Australia's industrial landscape during that era. Interestingly, one can spot a few workers indulging in smoking addiction while going about their tasks. Port Pirie's harbor serves as a backdrop for this scene, emphasizing its significance as a hub for trade and commerce during that time period. This snapshot offers viewers a glimpse into Australia's rich history and highlights the importance of industries like steel production in shaping the nation's growth.
