EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Pine-Apple Field in Queensland, Australia, back in 1923. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown but it was featured in the book "Australia, New Zealand and Oceania in Pictures" by H. Clive Barnard. The photograph showcases an agricultural worker amidst the vast farmland, bending forward to harvest pineapples using a scythe. The monochrome composition evokes a sense of nostalgia for the early 20th century and highlights the hard work involved in farming during that era. The crates filled with freshly harvested pineapples are stacked nearby, ready for export or local consumption. The picture not only portrays the beauty of nature but also sheds light on the importance of agriculture as an essential trade at that time. This snapshot provides us with a glimpse into rural life in Australia during the twenties when manual labor played a crucial role in sustaining communities. Although we may never know who precisely captured this momentous scene, their ability to freeze time allows us to appreciate both the natural landscape and human effort behind pineapple cultivation. As we gaze upon this intriguing portrait from history, let us reflect on how much has changed since then while acknowledging our reliance on those who work tirelessly to provide us with food from our bountiful earth.
