EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the summer of 1886 in Bairnsdale, Australia. The image showcases a bustling hop farm, with fields stretching as far as the eye can see. Farm workers are diligently engaged in hop picking, their figures blending seamlessly into the monochrome landscape. The wood engraving, expertly illustrated under the supervision of Frederic B Schell, captures the essence of 19th-century agriculture. It depicts a scene that was vital to Australia's booming hop industry at the time. Hop poles stand tall amidst rows upon rows of hops ready for harvesting. The print offers a glimpse into rural life during this era; it portrays hardworking individuals laboring under the scorching sun to ensure a successful harvest. The buildings in the background serve as reminders of both progress and tradition within farming communities. Andrew Garran's contribution to this picturesque atlas provides historical context and insight into Australian agricultural practices from over a century ago. Through his collaboration with Frederic B Schell and other unknown creators involved in its production, this print has become an invaluable piece of heritage. As we admire this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the dedication and resilience exhibited by these farm hands who played an integral role in shaping Victoria's farming landscape.
