EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history, showcasing the Aboriginal inhabitants of Australia during the mid-19th century. Titled "The Aboriginal Inhabitants: Encampment of native women, near Cape Jervis" this hand-coloured engraving is part of the South Australia Illustrated book published in 1847. In this scene, we witness a group of indigenous women and children gathered around their campsite. The women are depicted wearing traditional attire, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Their presence exudes strength and resilience as they navigate their daily lives within nature's embrace. A mother can be seen cradling her child while another woman tends to a small fire nearby. A straw cushion provides comfort for those seated on the ground, creating an intimate atmosphere within this communal space. A jug and bottle rest nearby, symbolizing sustenance and nourishment for these families. This image not only offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Australia's original inhabitants but also serves as a reminder of their deep connection to the land. It invites us to reflect upon our shared humanity and appreciate the diversity that exists within our world. Preserved in The Stapleton Collection, this engraving by George French Angas beautifully encapsulates an important chapter in Australian history – one that deserves recognition and respect for its enduring significance.
