EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving captures a poignant scene from the historic Burke and Wills expedition in Australia. In the 19th century, explorers Robert O Hara Burke and William John Wills embarked on a daring journey with a team of 19 men. Their audacious goal was to traverse Australia, starting from Melbourne in the south and reaching the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north. However, tragedy befell this ambitious endeavor. The image showcases the extreme terrain of the Australian wilderness, where only brave and mature men dared to venture. The outback's rugged beauty is juxtaposed with an antique woodcut illustration that transports us back to a bygone era. In this snapshot, we witness Prince William, donned in traditional 19th-century style attire, standing amidst this wild landscape. His presence evokes a sense of adventure and exploration reminiscent of historical figures like John the Evangelist or King John. As our eyes wander through this black-and-white print, we are reminded of Australia's rich cultural heritage and its agricultural occupation rooted deeply within its people. This image serves as both a testament to history and an ode to those who have come before us. While death ultimately claimed Burke during their arduous journey, his legacy lives on through images like these—reminders of bravery against all odds. Duncan1890's artistic rendition allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we've come since those pioneering days in Australasia's untamed bushland.
