EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Trolly driven by Sail" takes us back in time to early 20th century Australia. The image, captured by an Australian photographer whose identity remains unknown, showcases a unique mode of transportation that was prevalent during this era. The photograph depicts a trolley being propelled forward by the power of sail. This unconventional method of transport highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of Australians in their quest for efficient means of travel. The sails billow gracefully against the wind as the trolley glides effortlessly along its path. The historical significance of this image is further enhanced by its connection to Edwin J Brady's book, "Australia Unlimited". Published around 1916, this illustration served as visual accompaniment to Brady's written work, providing readers with a vivid representation of Australia's pioneering spirit. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Western Australia's past. It serves as a reminder that innovation knows no bounds when it comes to overcoming geographical challenges and harnessing nature's elements for practical purposes. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate the ingenuity and resilience displayed by our Australian ancestors. Their determination paved the way for progress and shaped the nation we know today.
