EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Australasia, Industrial" captures the essence of early 20th-century industrialization in the region. Taken by an English photographer in the 1920s, this image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Harmsworths Atlas of the World and Pictorial Gazetteer edited by J A Hamerton. The photograph showcases a landscape dominated by factories, smokestacks, and machinery. It serves as a visual representation of the rapid growth and development that took place during this era. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes the harsh realities faced by workers amidst this industrial revolution. Although devoid of human presence, there is an underlying mythological element to this image. Perhaps it alludes to how industry became a new religion for many during that time - replacing traditional beliefs with modern technological advancements. The inclusion of mythological figures suggests a connection between ancient pagan practices and contemporary society's worshiping of progress. As we gaze upon this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to an era where post-World War I optimism fueled dreams of prosperity through industrialization. This photograph encapsulates both the awe-inspiring power unleashed by human innovation as well as its potential consequences on our natural world.
