EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an Australian Aborigine from 1812. The image, a colour lithograph created by the French School in the 19th century, is part of a private collection and showcases the rich cultural heritage of Australia. Labelled as Nouvelle-Hollande, which was an early name for Australia during Dutch exploration, this illustration comes from naturalist Francois Peron's Voyage de decouvertes aux Terres Australes (Voyage of Discovery to the Southern Lands). Published in Paris in 1815, it documents the French cartographic survey expedition led by Thomas Nicolas Baudin between 1800 and 1804. Peron himself served as one of the scientific team members on this remarkable journey. The profile portrait depicts a male Aboriginal figure adorned with traditional body paint and scarification marks. It offers a glimpse into their unique anthropological characteristics and ethnographic practices. This illustration serves as an important historical record that sheds light on Australia's indigenous culture at that time. The fine details captured by B Roger after N Petit's engraving highlight not only the physical features but also convey a sense of resilience and pride within this individual. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this artwork represents an invaluable piece showcasing both artistic mastery and cultural significance. This stunning print is not just an illustration; it is a testament to our shared human history and serves as a reminder to appreciate and respect diverse cultures around the world.
