EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Port Jackson, New Holland: Aboriginal Family" takes us back in time to the early 19th century. The image showcases an intimate scene of an indigenous Australian family immersed in their daily life. Engraved by Boisseau and Forget and published between 1817-20, this colored engraving captures the essence of a voyage led by Louis de Freycinet. The Aboriginal family depicted here exudes strength, resilience, and a deep connection with their land. The male and female figures stand proudly beside a campfire, symbolizing both warmth and sustenance. Their nudity is not meant to be provocative but rather reflects their natural state of being. In the background, we see children playing freely while others engage in hunting activities using traditional spears. This portrayal highlights the importance of passing down ancestral knowledge from one generation to another within indigenous communities. The setting is Port Jackson in New South Wales, Australia – a place rich with cultural heritage that predates European colonization. Through this image, we are reminded of the diverse cultures that have shaped Australia's history long before it became known as such. As we admire this historical artwork preserved at the Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France; let us appreciate its significance as a testament to human diversity and celebrate the enduring spirit of Indigenous Australians throughout centuries past and present.
