EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1928 showcases the revolutionary practice of shearing sheep by machinery in Australia. Captured by Players Cigarettes as part of their "Products of the World" series, this image provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of animal agriculture during that era. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the bustling scene on an Australian farm. A group of hardworking individuals, both men and women, can be seen engaged in their daily job of shearing sheep. The skilled shearers meticulously remove wool from each animal with the help of advanced machinery, marking a significant shift from traditional manual methods. Set against a backdrop that exudes rustic charm, this photograph not only celebrates Australia's rich farming heritage but also highlights the importance of occupation and livelihoods tied to sheep farming. The illustration is accompanied by informative text that sheds light on this pivotal moment in agricultural history. As we delve into this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident how advancements in technology transformed professions like farm laborer or farm hand into specialized roles such as agricultural workers or livestock farmers. This piece serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation within the context of early 20th-century rural life.
