EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "On The Road" we are transported back to the year 1872 in Australia. A group of Australian drinkers, gathered outside the Great Eastern Hotel, pause their activities to watch a passing travelling party. The image showcases a slice of life from that era, capturing the essence of Australian culture and human interest. The scene is bustling with energy as men on horseback ride by, accompanied by a box carriage pulled by magnificent horses. The travelers seem to be embarking on an adventure, igniting curiosity among those observing from the street. Signs and symbols adorn the hotel's facade, adding character to this snapshot frozen in time. Amidst it all, one cannot help but notice the prominent theme of transportation prevalent throughout this photograph - whether it be through horse riding or carriage travel. This serves as a reminder of how different life was during that period compared to our modern means of transport. With its horizontal format and striking composition, this print beautifully captures not only the landscape but also provides insight into lifestyles and consumer products popular at that time. It stands as a testament to history while evoking nostalgia for simpler times when communities would gather together on street corners like these – watching life go by with intrigue and wonderment.
