EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Misery" takes us back to the 19th century in Australia, capturing a poignant moment in history. The image, captured by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, showcases the harsh reality faced by many during that time. In this thought-provoking photograph, we see a group of aborigines riding on the backs of bactrian camels through the unforgiving goldfields of Western Australia. Their weary expressions and worn-out clothing speak volumes about their struggles and hardships. The composition beautifully captures not only the physical misery endured by these individuals but also hints at their resilience and determination to survive against all odds. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing both despair and hope. This powerful snapshot was originally featured as an illustration for "Glimpses of Australia" a publication released by Werner Company around 1895. Preserved within a private collection until now, it serves as a reminder of our shared human experience throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' archives, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the challenges faced by those who ventured into uncharted territories seeking fortune or simply trying to make ends meet. It is through such evocative imagery that we gain insight into our collective past while appreciating how far we have come.
