The image, produced as a collectible cigarette card by the Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd, showcases the fascinating world of pearl fishing during this era. In this snapshot from history, we see a group of fishermen on their boat venturing into the vast expanse of water. The serene sea stretches out before them, hinting at both its beauty and treacherous nature. These brave individuals risked their lives to dive deep beneath the surface in search of precious pearls. The landscape surrounding them is awe-inspiring; it perfectly encapsulates Australia's unique geography with its stunning coastline and abundant marine life.
