-- Travelling under Difficulties in Tasmania, 1890: A Haunting Black and White Image from "The Graphic" This evocative and haunting photograph, titled "Mired" and dated 1890, captures a moment of struggle and perseverance in the rugged wilderness of Tasmania, Australia. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," showcases a group of men and a horse attempting to rescue a horse-drawn vehicle that has become mired in a deep and treacherous muddy swamp. The scene is set in the Victorian era, with the men dressed in period attire and the horse-drawn vehicle reminiscent of the horse and carriage transport that was common during that time. The black and white image, with its high contrast and sharp details, transports us back to a time when travel was a challenging and arduous endeavor, especially in the unforgiving terrain of Tasmania. The men in the photograph appear determined and focused, working together to free the vehicle and its passengers from the mire. The horse, too, seems to be giving its all, straining against the harness as it tries to pull the vehicle free. The scene is one of grit and resilience, as the group faces the difficulties of the Tasmanian wilderness head-on. The title "Mired" adds an ominous tone to the image, suggesting that the group may have faced similar challenges before and that this is just another day in the life of those traveling in the untamed land of Tasmania. The image is a poignant reminder of the hardships and perseverance required for travel in the 19th century and the beauty and challenges of the natural world. This photograph, from the collection of "The Print Collector," is a testament to the power of the image to transport us back in time and give us a glimpse into the past. It is a haunting and evocative image that will linger in the mind long after viewing it.
