EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of coffee picking in North Queensland, Australia during the early 20th century. Taken by an Australian photographer, it is a part of a private collection and was originally used as an illustration for "Glimpses of Australia" published by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne in 1908. The image showcases the agricultural scene with workers engaged in harvesting coffee on a plantation. A harvester and other farm equipment can be seen in the background, emphasizing the mechanized nature of this process. The contrast between black and white adds depth to the composition, highlighting both the labor-intensive work involved and the beauty of this sight. Coffee cups are scattered throughout, symbolizing not only the drink itself but also hinting at moments of respite amidst hard work. The photo evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when farming practices were different yet equally important for sustenance. Overall, this image provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century Australia's coffee industry while showcasing its rich history and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder that agriculture has always been integral to human civilization, shaping landscapes and economies across continents like Oceania.
