EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 1878, offering a glimpse into the lives of Aboriginal Australians during that time. The image depicts a camp and group of Indigenous individuals, beautifully engraved after a drawing by A. Sirouy. It was originally intended to illustrate the story "Six Months in Australia" by Desire Charnay, commissioned by the Ministry of Public Education. Published in the renowned tour du monde magazine under the direction of Edouard Charton in 1880 Paris, this print is part of the Selva Collection. Achille Sirouy's meticulous attention to detail brings forth an authentic representation of life within an Aboriginal camp. The composition captures both curiosity and respect for these ancient cultures as we witness their daily activities and communal spirit. The engraving transports us through time, allowing us to connect with a moment long gone but forever preserved in this remarkable artwork. Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured this historical piece with his lens, preserving its essence for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of our shared humanity and the importance of cherishing diverse cultures.
