EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view from Hamilton Shaft at Great Boulder Mine in Western Australia. Taken by an Australian photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts a vast pit surrounded by industrial structures, showcasing the thriving metal and metallurgy industry of the time. The monochromatic tones emphasize the stark contrast between light and shadow, adding to the dramatic atmosphere of the photograph. Intriguingly, this image was originally used as an illustration for "Glimpses of Australia" a publication by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne back in 1908. It offers us a glimpse into early twentieth-century Australia's booming mining sector. The composition not only showcases human ingenuity but also highlights nature's raw beauty with its rugged landscape stretching out beyond sight. This juxtaposition reminds us of our connection to both industry and nature. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Australia was rapidly developing as a nation. This photo serves as a testament to our ability to harness resources while simultaneously appreciating their inherent beauty. With its historical significance and artistic merit, this print stands as a powerful reminder of Australia's rich industrial heritage that continues to shape its identity today.
