EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from circa 1922 showcases a gentleman in a formal suit, standing proudly beside a large, intricately detailed sculpture of rearing horses. The sculpture, which appears to be located in a grand foyer or street setting, is adorned with ornate details and exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. However, the true purpose of this striking image is to highlight the capabilities of Comox, a leading provider of Oxy Acetylene welding equipment at the time. The gentleman's presence serves as a testament to the artistry and precision that could be achieved through the use of Comox's advanced welding technology. The sculpture, which would have been a significant undertaking, was likely created using this very equipment. The fusion of industry and art is beautifully captured in this image, showcasing the versatility and importance of Comox's Oxy Acetylene welding solutions. The location of this photograph is not definitively known, but it is believed to be in the Balmain area of Sydney, Australia. The exact date and attribution of the photograph are also uncertain, but its timeless quality and intriguing story make it a fascinating glimpse into the past. This image is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online and serves as a reminder of the remarkable ways in which technology and creativity intersected in the early 20th century.
