Caption: "An Affray with the Natives, 1923 - A Glimpse into Colonial Conflict". This photo print, titled 'An Affray with the Natives, 1923', offers a unique glimpse into the complex history of colonialism in Australia and Oceania. Created by an unknown artist and featured in the book 'Australia, New Zealand and Oceania in Pictures' by H. Clive Barnard, this image captures a moment of intense conflict between British settlers and indigenous people. Set against an outdoor backdrop, we witness a chaotic scene where fear permeates the air. A mixed-race group of local men can be seen running barechested through smoke-filled surroundings as fire rages nearby. The intensity is palpable as they attempt to evade their pursuers. The photograph serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by indigenous communities during this period marked by cultural clashes and colonial expansion. It highlights both the resilience of these native populations and their resistance against encroachment on their lands. Through its vivid colors and powerful composition, this print transports us back to a time when tensions ran high between colonizers and those who called these lands home for centuries before them. It invites contemplation on themes such as identity, ethnicity, power dynamics, and historical narratives that shape our understanding of Australia's past. As we reflect upon this image today, it encourages us to acknowledge the complexities inherent in our shared history while fostering empathy towards diverse cultures that have shaped modern-day
