EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching captures the essence of the maritime industry in Australia during the early 20th century. The large ship, with its sails rolled up and secured, sits majestically in the dry dock at an Australian port. The intricate details of the ship's hull, from the rivets to the intricate patterns of the propeller, are on full display as the water recedes, revealing the ship's true form. The etching also showcases the impressive engineering and technology of the time, as the cranes and other machinery loom in the background, ready to lift the ship back into the water. The scene exudes a sense of hope and renewal, as the ship undergoes maintenance and preparation for its next voyage. The calm waters reflect the sky above, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The etching also serves as a reminder of the vital role that the maritime industry played in Australia's economic and cultural development. This etching, from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a beautiful and intricate work of art that transports us back in time to a bygone era. Circa 1921, this print is a testament to the rich history of shipping in Australia and the ingenuity and determination of those who worked in the industry. Whether displayed in a home or office, this etching is sure to inspire awe and admiration for generations to come.
