EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Australia (colour litho)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the diverse and rich culture of Australia. The image, created by an anonymous American School artist, showcases the vibrant tapestry of Australian life as depicted in H G Cutler and L W Yaggy's book "Panorama of Nations or Journeys Among the Families of Men" published in 1892. In this snapshot, we witness a harmonious blend of Australians from different backgrounds engaging in various activities. Women and men are seen alongside Aboriginal people, exploring their surroundings and embracing their cultural heritage. The scene is set within a village where families reside in huts while children play joyfully around them. The photograph also sheds light on gastronomy as it captures individuals cooking over an open fire. It highlights both traditional methods employed by craftsmen and craftswomen who skillfully prepare meals using local ingredients such as kangaroo meat. This portrayal challenges stereotypes associated with Australian cuisine while showcasing its unique flavors. Moreover, this image serves as an ethnographical documentation that emphasizes racial diversity within Australia at that time. It provides valuable insight into the lives of indigenous communities along with those who have settled there from all corners of the world. Overall, this remarkable print offers a fascinating window into Australia's past - capturing moments filled with exploration, family bonds, culinary traditions, and celebration of cultural diversity among its inhabitants.
