EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1928, capturing the site of the Burrinjuck Dam in New South Wales, Australia. The dam, located on the majestic Murrumbidgee River, was a monumental engineering project that began way back in 1907 but faced delays due to World War I. Finally completed after two decades of hard work and perseverance, this image showcases both the grandeur of nature and human ingenuity. The photograph is a collectible cigarette card produced by the Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd as part of their second series. It serves as a testament to Australia's rich landscape and geographical features during the early 20th century. In this monochrome masterpiece, we see an expansive view of the dam against a backdrop of rolling hills and serene waters. The sheer size and scale of this man-made structure are awe-inspiring, symbolizing mankind's ability to harness nature for its own benefit. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, it reminds us not only of our past achievements but also prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards preserving these natural wonders for future generations. This print captures not just a moment in history but also invites contemplation about humanity's relationship with its environment.
