Framed Print of Australian diggers keeping Christmas Eve - Auld Lang Syne'; drawn by W. Ralston, 1873. Creator: Joseph Swain
Australian diggers keeping Christmas Eve - Auld Lang Syne'; drawn by W. Ralston, 1873....the squatters and diggers are bravely disposed to enjoy themselves al fresco...this party of sturdy good fellows, whom our Artist has represented as he may often have seen them when he lived in Australia...are gold-diggers...encamped on their road to a new rush; each man carrying his moderate rate of swag or personal baggage, with their billy or can for boiling water, and the frying-pan for their simple cookery, sufficing every want in a tramp of several hundred miles. Nay, they have a sort of tent, even here, slung for the night between two trees; and we see that they have had a bottle of whisky or brandy, which has served to honour the toast of Auld Lang Syne! previous to the singing of that beloved song by the true-hearted Scotchman with his arms duly crossed over his manly bosom. A neighbouring stock-rider, who has caught sight of these chums travelling on the border of his run, comes in to share their social mirth, but is too late for his share of the liquor. The bottle is empty...'. From Illustrated London News, 1873. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
