1869 Died Tasmania Tasmanian Racial Will I Am

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history, depicting William Lanne, also known as King Billy, the last male Tasmanian. His death in 1869 marked the end of an era for the indigenous people of Tasmania. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the impact of colonization and cultural erasure on native populations. Lanne's story is one of resilience and tragedy, as he lived through immense changes brought about by European settlement in Australia. As one of the few remaining full-blooded Tasmanians at the time of his passing, his legacy continues to be remembered and honored today. The photograph showcases Lanne's distinct features and traditional attire, offering a glimpse into his world and identity as a proud Aboriginal man. It serves as a testament to the rich history and heritage of Tasmania's indigenous peoples, whose voices have often been silenced or overlooked in mainstream narratives. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this important piece of Australian history through their collection, allowing viewers to reflect on the complexities of race relations and colonialism that continue to shape our society. This print is not just a snapshot from the past but a symbol of remembrance and acknowledgment for those who came before us.
