EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fossickers at Work, 1901" takes us back to a bygone era in Australian history. The image showcases a group of men engaged in the fascinating pursuit of fossicking, which involves prospecting for minerals as a recreational activity rather than for commercial gain. The aerial view allows us to appreciate the vastness of the landscape, with its rolling hills and meandering stream cutting through the valley. It is evident that these men have chosen an idyllic location for their hobby, surrounded by breathtaking scenery that adds to the allure of their pastime. In this snapshot from Federated Australia's early years, we witness these dedicated individuals immersed in their work. Each man appears focused and determined as he sifts through rocks and sediment, hoping to uncover hidden treasures beneath the earth's surface. Although created over a century ago by an unknown artist, this print serves as a valuable historical document. It provides insight into not only Australia's geological heritage but also sheds light on how people spent their leisure time during this period. As we gaze upon this image captured in time, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with nature's mysteries and our desire to explore and understand our surroundings.
