EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, specifically to an ostrich farm near Port Augusta, South Australia in 1886. The artist behind this remarkable wood engraving is Frank P Mahony, who beautifully captures the essence of this unique location. In the image, we see a mother ostrich with her chick by her side, showcasing a heartwarming moment of motherhood in the animal kingdom. The monochrome effect adds depth and nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing its historical significance. The concept of farming and agriculture is also prominent in this print. Ostrich farming was a significant industry during that time period in Australia's history. This particular farm served as a hub for breeding these magnificent birds for various purposes. Andrew Garran supervised the illustration process under Frederic B Schell's guidance for Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, Vol II. Their collaboration resulted in an exquisite portrayal of Australian wildlife and landscapes. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and connection with nature. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the importance of preserving our environment and its diverse inhabitants. Overall, this print by Andrew Garran, Frank P Mahony (creator), Frederic B Schell transports us back to a time when ostrich farms were thriving in South Australia while highlighting themes such as family bonds, agriculture practices, and our fascination with exotic animals.
