This photo print, titled "Sketches of Life in Queensland" takes us on a visual journey through the vibrant landscapes and diverse wildlife of 19th century Australia. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of life in Queensland during that era. The image showcases various scenes that depict the essence of this region. From wild duck shooting to gold mining, from stagecoach rides to cattle farming, each sketch captures a different aspect of daily life in Queensland. The bustling town of Charters Towers comes alive with its busy streets and horse-drawn carriages, while the serene Burdekin River provides a tranquil backdrop for fishing and leisurely boat rides. Amongst these lively depictions lies an intriguing encounter between two kangaroos engaged in combat – a testament to both the beauty and ferocity found within Australia's unique fauna. Additionally, we catch sight of an old man kangaroo gracefully hopping across the landscape. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also serves as historical documentation. It was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on January 19th, 1884. Through this piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how people lived and interacted with nature in colonial-era Queensland. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this snapshot from history for our enjoyment today. As we gaze upon these sketches filled with adventure and charm, we can't help but be captivated by the untamed spirit that
