EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1890s showcases a scene from up-country New Zealand featuring a rabbiter and his loyal dogs. The rugged landscape serves as the backdrop for this snapshot of rural life in Aotearoa during the late nineteenth century.
The rabbiter, clad in traditional attire, is depicted alongside his trusty canine companions as they work together to control the rabbit population that posed a threat to local agriculture at the time. This image offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by early settlers in New Zealand as they grappled with issues such as pest management and land conservation.
Captured by Wheeler & Son photographers in Christchurch and reproduced for The Imperial Album of New Zealand Scenery, this historical photograph provides valuable insight into the daily lives of those who called this remote corner of the world home. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by pioneers who braved new frontiers in pursuit of a better future.
As we reflect on this snapshot from New Zealand's past, we are reminded of the enduring bond between humans and animals, united in their shared struggle against adversity.
