EDITORS COMMENTS
Ned Kelly: The Infamous Australian Bushranger, 1878 This evocative photograph captures the notorious figure of Ned Kelly, the Australian bushranger, in a moment of defiance and resistance. Taken in 1878, the image shows Kelly wearing his iconic armour, a suit made from steel plates and a helmet adorned with rabbit skin and a false beard. The outlaw, known for his criminal exploits and rebellion against the law, is depicted here with a pistol in hand and a determined look in his eyes. Born in Victoria, Australia, in 1855, Kelly and his gang became notorious for their robberies and shootouts with the police. Wearing the armour, which he claimed would make him invincible, Kelly and his gang held off the Victorian police in a siege at Glenrowan in 1878. During the siege, Kelly was shot multiple times and captured, along with his gang members. Despite his criminal activities, Kelly has become a folk hero in Australia, with many seeing him as a symbol of resistance against the oppressive authorities of the time. The image of Kelly in his armour, gun in hand, has become an enduring symbol of Australian history and the country's complex relationship with its past. This photograph, taken during the height of Kelly's notoriety, provides a glimpse into the life of one of Australia's most famous and controversial figures. It serves as a reminder of the country's rich and complex history, and the enduring power of myth and legend.
