EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1886 in Australia, showcasing the age-old practice of sheep shearing. The artist behind this remarkable piece is A Sirouy, who beautifully captures a significant moment in Australian agriculture history. In this scene, we witness a bustling shed filled with hardworking men and boys engaged in their occupation as sheep shearers. The atmosphere is alive with energy as they skillfully remove the fleece from each sheep, an essential task for wool production. The meticulousness required for this job is evident on the faces of these dedicated individuals. The image transports us to a time when livestock farming was at its peak in Australia. It serves as a testament to the country's rich agricultural heritage and highlights the crucial role that sheep farming played in its economy during the 19th century. A young boy can be seen among these seasoned professionals, learning the trade from his experienced counterparts. This glimpse into rural life showcases not only a profession but also represents an entire way of living deeply connected to nature and land. As we admire this monochrome engraving by A Sirouy, we are reminded of how far our society has come since those days while appreciating the dedication and hard work that went into shaping Australia's agricultural landscape.
