EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Splitters in the Bush, c. 1880" takes us back to a bygone era of Australian history. The image captures a group of hardworking men engaged in the laborious task of log splitting deep within the dense bushland. The scene is filled with raw energy as these rugged lumberjacks tackle massive tree trunks with their saws and axes. Their muscular frames and determined expressions speak volumes about their dedication to their craft. It's evident that this work required immense physical strength and skill. The composition beautifully portrays the harmony between man and nature, showcasing how humans have harnessed the resources provided by the forest for centuries. The felled trees surrounding them serve as a testament to their tireless efforts. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into the lives of these working-class individuals who played an integral role in shaping Australia's timber industry during this time period. They were unsung heroes whose contributions often went unnoticed. As we admire this historical print from Howard Willoughby's "Australian Pictures" published in 1886, we are reminded of the rich heritage embedded within our forests and appreciate those who dedicated themselves to harnessing its power for progress.
