EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Turtle Catching, 1886" takes us back to the enchanting shores of Australia in the late 19th century. Created by renowned artist Julian Ashton, this wood engraving is a part of the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, Vol II. The scene depicted showcases a male hunter engaged in an exhilarating hunt for aquatic life along the coast. With his determined gaze fixed on his target, he skillfully captures a magnificent turtle amidst crashing waves and rugged geographical features. The print beautifully captures both the raw power of nature and man's resourcefulness. Ashton's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this monochrome masterpiece. The intricate engravings bring out the textures of sand, sea foam, and even the turtle's scaly shell with remarkable precision. This artful portrayal transports viewers to a time when hunting was not only a means for survival but also an adventurous pursuit that connected humans with their natural surroundings. The collaboration between Andrew Garran (author), Frederic B Schell (illustrator supervisor), and Julian Ashton (artist) has resulted in an evocative representation of Australian coastal life during this era. Through this print, we are reminded of our deep connection with nature and how it has shaped our history as well as our identity as Australians". Turtle Catching, 1886" serves as both a visual delight and historical documentation—a testament to Australia's rich heritage captured through artistic brilliance.
