No, she also invented the tube top.
this is as far as my internet sleuthing is going for now. It has the photographers name as well as the company. I found some of his other works, but I can't find an unedited version of this piece. Really sickens me when people censor art

idk, this is just how I found it.
Ah okay! Well, the question remains, but I guess I am not going to find the answer :) Thanks for clarifying!
Maybe they're from The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) and/or from TROVE, many pictures there are restricted or not digitally available.
that's bullshit.
Reminds me of Islamic theocracies that censor sports because sharia law.
This, is equally bad, if not worse.
It is early because my first thought was wondering why her top wasn't sepia like the rest of the picture.
Them Victorian mores
I'm sorry, it says here, mopes.
I was thinking “was the boob tube invented back then and did the idea migrate here or to there”.
It’s not even that early here!
I like her top, they were really ahead of their time.
spandex sports bra is an ultra rare drop from kangaroos, so you know she's a serious hunter to have found one.
Is there an uncensored version? For science!
?
we need the uncensored version because the censored one should have never existed!!!!
Not because some weirdo online wants to sexualise women older than their grandma.
Fuck western puritans shoving their values on everyone else and erasing history.
She's ready to fight god.
Hell yeah she BONK
I wonder how heavy that thing is.
Then again, I imagine it can’t possibly be heavier than claymores and zweihanders, and those were allegedly used despite being longer than I am tall..
With zweihanders, it's all about leverage. People can strike pretty fast with them - but because of the long handle (and sometimes holding the unsharpened part of the blade) giving them more leverage.
Why is the sword so big? There's got to be a practical purpose for it
Big Bonk, presumably.
If you do no metalworking, scaling is your best tool for making a ~~blunter~~ better blunt weapon. Put some heft behind it!
Makes sense. More force at the end.
Metal! 🤘
