EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a general view of Sandhurst's mines, beautifully captured in an engraving after a drawing by Taylor. The image was originally intended to illustrate the story "Six Months in Australia" written by Desire Charnay, as part of a mission assignment by the Ministry of Public Education in 1878. Published in the renowned magazine "Le Tour du Monde" under the direction of Edouard Charton in 1880, this engraving offers us a glimpse into the industrial area and fireplace-lit cityscape of Sandhurst. The Selva Collection proudly holds this remarkable piece, which highlights both the career and artistic talent of Taylor. With its intricate details and masterful composition, this print immerses viewers into an Australian mining town during that era. Leonard de Selva has skillfully photographed this historical artwork for preservation purposes. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene from yesteryears, we are transported back to a time when industry thrived amidst rugged landscapes. This photograph not only captures the essence of Australia's rich mining history but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination. It reminds us that progress often comes at great cost but can lead to extraordinary achievements.
