EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Dusky Lily smokes the Pipe of Peace" takes us back to the mid-20th century in Australia. The image, captured by an Australian photographer whose identity remains unknown, showcases a moment of tranquility and reflection. In this thought-provoking photograph, Dusky Lily, a mysterious figure from history, is depicted smoking the pipe of peace. The composition exudes an aura of serenity as she sits amidst nature's beauty. Her gaze is fixed on something beyond our view, perhaps lost in deep contemplation or seeking solace. This powerful image was originally created as an illustration for P J Hurley's book "In Search of Australia" published by Dymocks in 1949. It serves as a visual representation of the search for harmony and unity within Australia during that era. The Department of Information deserves credit for preserving this remarkable piece of Australian history. Its inclusion in private collections has allowed future generations to appreciate its significance. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are reminded not only of the historical context but also how art can transcend time and evoke emotions across generations. This photograph invites us to reflect upon our own quest for peace and understanding while appreciating the rich cultural heritage that defines Australia today.
