Held in Melbourne, Australia, the day before the actual anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, this poster announces a rally focused on the banning of both nuclear weapons and uranium mining. Australia is home to the world’s largest resource of uranium, a fundamental component of all nuclear technology. Up through the 1970s, it primarily supplied the weapons programs of the United States and the United Kingdom. As the country does not have nuclear energy or weapons, its production of uranium is entirely for export. The photograph of a young girl was taken by Yōsuke Yamahata the day after the bombing of Nagasaki. He took more than one hundred exposures of the aftermath of the event; it is the only extensive photographic record of either nuclear attack.
