EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1872, providing a glimpse into the bustling sheep industry of Australia. The image showcases the interior of a shearing shed at Collaroy, New South Wales, where an impressive flock of 1,500 sheep fills the drying floor. This staggering number represents just one day's worth of shearing at this particular sheep station. The scene is filled with activity as men diligently work amidst the sea of woolly creatures. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this late 19th-century Australian station, highlighting both its scale and significance in the country's economy. The importance of wool production during this era cannot be overstated. Australia was renowned for its high-quality wool exports, and images like these serve as a testament to that legacy. They offer us a window into an industry that played a vital role in shaping not only Australia's economic landscape but also its cultural identity. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the immense labor required to sustain such operations and appreciate how far technology has advanced since then. This print serves as a reminder of our connection to history and invites us to reflect on how industries evolve over time while leaving lasting imprints on society.
