EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Incidents in a Settlers Life in Australia" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the challenges faced by early settlers in this vast land. The print, part of a private collection, showcases an illustration originally featured in The Graphic on May 12,1883. In this scene, we witness a dramatic encounter between man and nature. A group of settlers is depicted near the bay as they are unexpectedly attacked by a kangaroo. With its powerful hind legs raised high above them, the kangaroo appears both majestic and threatening. One can almost feel the tension and fear emanating from their startled faces. The artist skillfully captures not only the danger posed by wildlife but also highlights other perils encountered during settlement. In the background, an elevated figure known as a "new chum" seems to be struggling with what appears to be a bees' nest - another reminder of how unfamiliar surroundings could lead to unexpected encounters with Australia's unique fauna. This historic engraving serves as a visual testament to the resilience and courage required for survival in these untamed lands. It invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with nature and reminds us that even today, human beings continue to navigate unforeseen challenges when coexisting alongside wildlife. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art through Fine Art Finder so that we may appreciate its historical significance while immersing ourselves in an era long past.
