EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, deep into the heart of Huon Forest in Tasmania. The image captures a significant moment as a blue-gum tree is being felled by a skilled worker, showcasing the laborious process involved in forestry work. The scene depicts an Australian lumberjack, equipped with an axe, diligently cutting through the massive trunk of the blue-gum tree. This tree surgeon's manual efforts highlight both his strength and expertise in this demanding profession. Surrounded by towering trees and dense foliage, it becomes evident that deforestation was already taking its toll on this pristine Tasmanian forest. Published in 1908 as part of "Under the Southern Cross - Glimpses of Australia" this photograph offers us a glimpse into Australia's rich history and its reliance on timber resources during that era. It serves as a reminder of how human labor played an essential role in shaping our landscapes. Preserved within a private collection for decades, this remarkable piece now belongs to Ken Welsh. As it is out of copyright, we have been granted access to appreciate and reflect upon this historical documentation captured by an anonymous Australian photographer from the 20th century.
