EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "All Day Long The Sound of the Pick and the Rumble of the Cradle Were Heard" takes us back to a significant era in history. Created by Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton, this illustration from H. E. Marshall's book "Our Empire Story" transports us to early 20th century Australia, amidst a bustling gold mining scene. The image showcases a group of hardworking men and women laboring under the scorching sun, surrounded by nature's beauty. With their tools in hand, they are seen diligently digging and panning for precious gold along the riverbank. The presence of tents suggests that this is their temporary campsite as they embark on their prospecting journey. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an industry that played a pivotal role in shaping Australia's history during colonial times. It symbolizes both the hardships faced by these miners and their unwavering determination to strike it rich. The artist skillfully captures not only the physicality of mining but also highlights gender equality with female figures actively participating alongside their male counterparts—a testament to the resilience and strength exhibited by women throughout history. Through its vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail, this print serves as a reminder of our ancestors' relentless pursuit for wealth and prosperity within an unforgiving landscape. It stands as a tribute to those who braved countless challenges in search of fortune while contributing to building nations like Australia within Britain's vast empire.
