EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "La mowing des moutons" takes us back to the year 1878 in Australia. The engraving, created by A. Sirouy and based on a drawing by Desire Charnay, beautifully captures the essence of sheep farming during that time. In this scene, we witness the laborious task of shearing sheep in an Australian wool station. The hardworking men are diligently tending to their flock, skillfully removing their thick coats for the production of fine wool. This image serves as a testament to the importance of wool as a significant industry in Australia's history. Published in 1880 under the direction of Edouard Charton in Paris' prestigious "tour du monde" magazine, this engraving sheds light on a crucial mission assignment by the Ministry of Public Education. It offers readers an immersive experience into life down under during that era. The Selva Collection has preserved this remarkable piece from Achille Sirouy with great care and attention to detail. Leonard de Selva holds all rights to this extraordinary artwork. As we gaze upon this historic print, we can't help but appreciate its artistic value and its ability to transport us back in time—to an era when sheep farming played a vital role in shaping Australia's identity and economy.
