EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sketches at an Australian Mission Station" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into life at an Australian mission station. The image showcases a myriad of scenes that depict the daily activities and interactions within this unique community. In the foreground, we see a group of indigenous boys engaged in various playful endeavors. Some are hunting, others fishing or simply enjoying their time together. Their joyous expressions reflect the harmony between nature and human existence. The central focus of the print is on a government well, which serves as a vital resource for both locals and missionaries alike. It symbolizes not only sustenance but also unity among different cultures residing in this remote region. Further along, we observe street scenes bustling with activity. Natives go about their daily routines while pelicans gracefully glide across Lake Killalpininna's shimmering waters in search of food. A dead pelican lies nearby, perhaps reminding viewers of the delicate balance between life and death in these untamed lands. Atop a hill stands the residence of Chief Missionary Kokoo, representing authority and guidance within this close-knit community. His presence signifies hope and spiritual support amidst challenging circumstances faced by both settlers and indigenous people. This enchanting engraving offers us an invaluable window into Australia's rich history through its depiction of diverse cultures coexisting harmoniously within an isolated mission station setting.
