EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Settler Clearing His Land, 1912" we are transported back to the early decades of the 19th century in New Zealand. The artist, Charles Robinson, skillfully captures a pivotal moment in European settlement history. A determined settler stands proudly amidst his newly cleared farmland, showcasing the resilience and hard work that characterized these pioneers. Dressed in traditional attire with a hat shielding him from the sun's rays, the settler is surrounded by animals essential for agricultural pursuits. Horses stand patiently nearby as he pulls at stubborn roots and debris, transforming untouched land into fertile soil ready for cultivation. This image not only depicts an individual's struggle to tame nature but also symbolizes the larger narrative of British imperialism and expansion during that era. It serves as a reminder of how European settlers sought to establish trading stations throughout New Zealand, leaving their mark on its landscape forever. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this portrait-like composition. As we gaze upon this print today, over a century later, it evokes feelings of admiration for those who shaped nations through sheer determination and unwavering spirit. This remarkable piece is part of Alice Talwin Morris' book "More About The Empire" published by Blackie and Son Limited in 1912. It offers us a glimpse into history while honoring the legacy of those who paved the way for future generations in New Zealand's rich cultural tapestry.
