EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Australian outback during the Victorian period. The image showcases a group of intrepid settlers, their faces etched with determination and resilience, as they gather around a lantern in the midst of a vast, arid landscape. The Edwardian era, marked by the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, was a period of significant growth and development in Australia, with an influx of immigrants seeking new opportunities in the land down under. The settlers, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, appear to be taking a momentary break from their arduous daily tasks. The lantern, a vital source of light in the absence of electricity, illuminates their faces and the surrounding area, casting an ethereal glow. The early Australian landscape, dotted with trees and rocky outcrops, stretches out before them, a testament to the challenges they faced in their quest for a new life. Hand-coloured photographs like this one were a popular means of recording and preserving memories during the Victorian era. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the image to life, allowing us to connect with the past in a tangible way. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the early Australian settlers, who braved the unknown and helped shape the history of this diverse and beautiful country.
