EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Cooktown, North Queensland in the early 20th century. The image, captured by an Australian photographer, showcases the raw beauty of this remote region. The monochromatic tones lend a sense of nostalgia and highlight the stark contrasts found within the landscape. The composition draws our attention to a small town nestled amidst vast expanses of untamed nature. It is as if time stands still in this snapshot from history. The photograph was originally featured in "Glimpses of Australia" a publication by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne, 1908. It serves as a visual representation of life across Australia during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and nature dominated daily life. We can almost feel the cool breeze on our skin and hear the sounds of birds chirping amidst untouched wilderness. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes a sense of wonder about what life was like for those who called Cooktown home over a century ago. It reminds us to appreciate both the natural beauty that surrounds us and how far we have come since then.
