EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed lithograph print by Albert Henry Fullwood captures the essence of Australian life in the early 20th century. Titled "Australian types: The Teamster," it depicts a crucial figure in the country's transportation industry - the teamster.
The teamster, as described in the caption, is essentially the carrier of Australia. Responsible for transporting provisions, bundles, and baggage from railways to outlying stations, fruit farms, and towns not connected by railway lines, they play a vital role in keeping communities connected and supplied with essential goods.
In this image, we see a teamster hard at work during his day-long journey through rugged terrain under the scorching Australian sun. With his trusty horse-drawn wagon loaded up with supplies, he navigates dusty roads and vast landscapes with determination and skill.
The artist's attention to detail brings this scene to life - from the intricate patterns on the teamster's clothing to the lush greenery of the countryside in the background. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era when travel was slow-paced yet essential for survival.
Overall, "Australian types: The Teamster" is a captivating snapshot of everyday life in Australia during a time when teamwork and perseverance were key values that kept communities thriving.
