EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed colour lithograph by Albert Henry Fullwood captures the essence of Australian life in the early 20th century. Titled "Australian types: The Selector," it depicts a small settler who has chosen a piece of land ranging from 40 to 500 acres, purchased from the Government on a pound1 per acre time-payment system.
The Selector is portrayed as a farmer or fruit-grower, living an idyllic existence building his own house on his own land with his own timber. This image evokes a sense of independence and self-sufficiency, showcasing the pioneering spirit that was integral to Australia's development.
The postcard serves as a snapshot of rural Australian life during this period, highlighting the simple yet fulfilling lifestyle of those who chose to make their home in the vast landscapes of this diverse country. The colours are rich and inviting, drawing viewers into this scene of domestic bliss amidst nature.
Fullwood's attention to detail and skillful use of colour bring this historical moment to life, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the beauty of Australia's landscape and its people.
