Australian Landscape Bull Cowherd Drive Ford Herd Herding Stream Swimming
EDITORS COMMENTS
Driving Cattle in Australia, c. 1880: A Glimpse into the Rugged Life of Australian Cowherds". This print takes us back to the vast landscapes of 19th century Australia, where cattle herding was a way of life. Captured by Howard Willoughby and published by the Religious Tract Society in London in 1886, this image showcases the true essence of Australian farming and agriculture. In this scene, we witness a group of skilled cowherds on horseback expertly guiding their herd through a ford in a meandering stream. The powerful bulls and graceful cows navigate the water with confidence as they swim across to reach greener pastures on the other side. The rugged beauty of the Australian landscape serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop for this timeless display of human-animal cooperation. The photograph not only highlights the sheer scale and magnitude of these cattle drives but also offers insight into the challenges faced by early settlers who relied heavily on livestock for sustenance and trade. It is a testament to their resilience, resourcefulness, and deep connection with nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, let us appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. It transports us back to an era when man's relationship with animals shaped livelihoods against all odds – reminding us that even amidst harsh conditions, determination can lead to triumph.
