Another Australian image of the 19th century, this one is particularly well-taken. Featuring Mrs. J. H. S. Barnes riding on what looks like a lovely summer day in 1898.
Why We Like It
From the State Library of Queensland, the image is super high quality for how old it is and it’s clear enough you can almost feel the afternoon heat. Her horse looks as if it’s been spooked by something behind it, with an ear flicked backwards. The photographer did a great job capturing the moment.
