EDITORS COMMENTS
This montage, created circa 1883, showcases the unique blend of Australian wildlife and Victorian-era sports in the burgeoning colonies of Australia. The intricately crafted woodcut print depicts a diverse array of activities, from horseback riding and cattle herding to hunting and bird shooting, all set against the backdrop of an Australian forest teeming with native wildlife. In the foreground, a rider gracefully breaks a wild horse, demonstrating the taming process that was essential for transportation and agriculture in the colonies. Nearby, a group of settlers herd cattle, their determined expressions contrasting with the tranquil gaze of a kangaroo observing the scene from the sidelines. Further into the forest, an emu, with its distinctive long neck and legs, strides through the undergrowth, seemingly oblivious to the hunters in pursuit. A hunter on horseback aims his rifle at a kangaroo, while another settler stands with a shotgun, ready to take aim at a flock of birds perched in a tree. Among the wildlife, a platypus swims serenely in a river, its unique bill and webbed feet a testament to the extraordinary biodiversity of the Australian wilderness. This mesmerizing montage offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the early days of Australian settlement and the unique intersection of human activities and the natural world.
