EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Illustration for Romance of Empire, Australia" takes us back in time to the historical adventure that unfolded in the vast land down under. Painted by George Washington Lambert, this colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment during an expedition towards Mount Hopeless. The image showcases a group of explorers crossing the rugged Australian terrain on camelback. The camels, known as the "ships of the desert" were essential companions on these perilous journeys. They provided transportation and carried supplies through harsh conditions that would have been otherwise impossible for humans to endure. This particular illustration refers to an event from Australian history when two brave men, Burke and Wills, lost their lives while attempting to cross Australia's unforgiving landscape. As they ventured deeper into uncharted territory, hope dwindled until they reached Mount Hopeless - a haunting reminder of their tragic fate. The presence of these magnificent Bactrian camels adds an air of wildness and exoticism to the scene. These animals symbolize resilience and adaptability in one of Earth's harshest environments. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty and challenges faced by early Australian explorers. It serves as a poignant reminder of those who dared to conquer new frontiers despite overwhelming odds – leaving behind a legacy etched into our nation's history forever.
