EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the cotton fields of Australia in 1928. The image showcases an agricultural worker diligently picking cotton, capturing a significant moment in the country's farming history. Produced as a collectible cigarette card by the Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd, this second series card offers a glimpse into the lives of those who toiled on Australian plantations during this era. The monochrome composition adds depth and texture to the scene, emphasizing both the hard work involved and the vastness of the cotton field. The farm laborer stands amidst rows upon rows of cotton plants, their presence highlighting the scale of agriculture at that time. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to an earlier century – a time when manual labor was essential for survival and prosperity. It serves as a reminder of Australia's rich agricultural heritage and pays homage to those whose dedication helped shape its economy. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical artifact allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural significance. It invites us to reflect on our past while acknowledging how far we have come in terms of technological advancements within agriculture. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into another world – one filled with hardworking individuals who played an integral role in shaping Australia's agricultural landscape.
