EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in Australian history - the formation of the Australian Federation. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the Premiers of the Australian Colonies gathered together for The Illustrated London News. The image features distinguished politicians who played crucial roles in shaping Australia as we know it today. On the left stands Sir Edward Braddon from South Australia, followed by Sir John Forrest representing Western Australia. Tasmania's Premier, Sir C. C. Kingston, is captured next to him. Continuing to the right are Sir George Turner from Victoria and George Reid from New South Wales. Finally, Queensland's representative, J. R. Dickson completes this remarkable group portrait. Their serious expressions reflect their dedication to building a united nation out of separate colonies with unique interests and identities. This photograph serves as a testament to their commitment towards achieving national unity through federation. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its artistic value as a beautifully composed piece of photography from that era. Preserved within private collections until now, this print allows us to glimpse into an important chapter in Australian history and appreciate the efforts made by these influential figures towards creating one cohesive nation down under.
