EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to the pioneer plantation of Mackay, Queensland, Australia. The image showcases a significant aspect of this era - the laborious process of carrying sugar-cane. Intriguingly detailed, we see workers diligently transporting bundles of sugar-cane on their shoulders as they navigate through the vast fields. Their stoic expressions and sturdy postures reflect both determination and resilience in their daily toil. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills, highlighting the natural beauty that surrounded these pioneers in their pursuit of cultivating this precious crop. The artist's skillful rendering captures not only the physicality but also the essence of life on a plantation during this period. Published as an illustration for The Graphic on January 27th, 1883, this print offers us a glimpse into history when railways were still being established and plantations like Mackay played a vital role in shaping Australia's economy. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving serves as a reminder of our past and honors those who worked tirelessly to build communities around industries such as sugar cane production. It invites us to appreciate both the hardships endured by these pioneers and their contributions towards shaping modern-day Queensland.
