EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a hop-picking scene in New Norfolk, Tasmania during the early 20th century. The image showcases the agricultural activity of harvesting hops, with workers diligently picking the plants. The monochromatic tones add a sense of nostalgia to this glimpse into Australia's farming history. The photograph was taken by an Australian photographer and is part of a private collection. It was originally used as an illustration for "Glimpses of Australia" a publication by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne in 1908. In this scene, we see farm equipment and mechanisms that were commonly used during that time period. A harvester can be seen in action, highlighting the technological advancements made in agriculture at that time. The photo not only provides insight into hop-picking practices but also offers a window into early 20th-century life in Tasmania. It serves as a reminder of how crucial agriculture has been to Australia's development and economy throughout history. With its rich historical context and striking composition, this print transports us back to an era when manual labor played a vital role in sustaining communities across Australia.
