EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Australian Sketches" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the diverse landscapes and bustling streets of Australia. The print, created by J. Macfarlane, showcases an array of scenes that depict the raw beauty and unique character of this vast continent. In one corner, we witness a sandstorm sweeping across an arid plain, its swirling dust creating an ethereal atmosphere. Meanwhile, on a busy street in Melbourne's Collins Street, horse-drawn carriages navigate through the chaos as pedestrians go about their daily routines. The Union Bank stands tall in the background, a symbol of financial stability amidst potential bank scares. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures not only human activity but also wildlife in motion. Horses gallop through Darling Shower while farm animals graze peacefully nearby. This juxtaposition between urban life and nature highlights Australia's harmonious coexistence with its environment. "Australian Sketches" was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in June 1893 - a testament to its historical significance. Now preserved within a private collection and made available by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder, this print allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in Australia's rich heritage.
