EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Boomerangs (litho)" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of boomerangs. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, was originally featured in The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia around 1922. The image showcases various types of boomerangs intricately illustrated with great attention to detail. These iconic Australian weapons are depicted as swan-necked and come from different regions such as Queensland, Karenya, and Gydia. Each boomerang is crafted from firwood timber, highlighting their practical use not only for hunting but also as firewood or kindling. As we admire this historical piece of knowledge captured on paper, it reminds us of the significance that boomerangs held within Aboriginal culture and their role in warfare. Boasting exceptional craftsmanship and design, these ancient tools were both deadly weapons and symbols of cultural identity. This print transports us back in time to explore the fascinating world of Australia's indigenous people while shedding light on the diverse uses of boomerangs beyond their well-known aerodynamic properties. With its intricate details and historical value, this artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout centuries past.
