EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bushwhackers (1878: A card party in the Australian bush)" takes us back to a bygone era in Australia's history. The image captures a group of men gathered around a campfire in the vast Australian bushland. Their faces are obscured by shadows, adding an air of mystery to the scene. In this leisure activity turned into art, we see these rugged individuals engrossed in a game of cards. The wooden table is their makeshift gaming surface, while tools such as axes rest nearby, reminding us of their resourcefulness and connection to nature. The flickering fire casts dancing shadows on their faces and illuminates the surrounding landscape. The composition is beautifully framed horizontally, allowing our eyes to wander through the details that tell stories of camaraderie and survival amidst harsh conditions. This snapshot from 1878 offers a glimpse into Australian culture at its core - resilience, mateship, and finding joy even in remote corners of the country. As we admire this remarkable piece from Hulton Archive's collection "Australian Views" it serves as a reminder that beyond commercial use lies an immense wealth of historical significance waiting to be explored.
