EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Copper Works at Mount Morgan Gold Mine in Central Queensland, Australia. Taken by an Australian photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph was originally used as an illustration for the book "Glimpses of Australia" published by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne in 1908. The picture showcases a pit filled with machinery and factory structures that were integral to copper production at the mine. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both the industrial nature of the site and its historical significance. Mount Morgan Gold Mine played a crucial role in Australia's mining industry during this time period. It served as one of Queensland's largest gold mines, contributing significantly to economic growth. This photo provides viewers with a glimpse into early twentieth-century mining practices, highlighting not only technological advancements but also labor-intensive processes involved. The monochromatic tones evoke a sense of nostalgia while capturing an important moment in Australian history. This image invites us to reflect on our nation's rich heritage and appreciate how industries like mining have shaped our country over time.
