EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Experiences of some 'New Chums' in Australia" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of newcomers to the Australian land. The image showcases a group of young men, referred to as "chaps" and "guys" who have recently arrived in this foreign country seeking new opportunities. The scene captures their diverse experiences as they navigate their way through this unfamiliar territory. Some are engaged in manual labor, seen fencing or working on various tasks around town. Others seem to be testing their luck with gambling, hoping for a stroke of fortune that could change their circumstances. The print also highlights the harsh realities faced by these new arrivals. Poverty is evident among them, symbolized by tattered clothing and meager living conditions. However, amidst these struggles, there is an air of resilience and determination displayed by these individuals. The artist skillfully portrays the essence of life for these "new chums". From catching glimpses of tanks and spurs hanging from belts to witnessing moments of camaraderie between them, we get a sense that they are slowly adapting and finding their place within this vast country. Overall, this engraving offers a fascinating insight into the early experiences encountered by those who ventured across oceans in search of better fortunes during Australia's history. It serves as a reminder that every journey begins with uncertainty but can lead to unexpected adventures and personal growth.
