The Shearers | Andrew Chapman

The State Library of New South Wales is pleased to host The Shearers: Photographs by Andrew Chapman, an exhibition which documents shearing in NSW. During the last four years, Andrew traveled to shearing sheds across the western part of the State from Hay to Louth and beyond, capturing the essence of an industry that still makes a critical contribution to the nation’s economy. … 2005 is the State Library’s Year of Photography- a year which celebrates its photographic collections as part of the lead up to the 100th anniversary of the Mitchell Library in 2010.
