EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les fugitives aborigenes" takes us back to 19th century Australia, capturing a poignant moment in history. The engraving, created by D. Maillart based on a drawing, was intended to illustrate the story "Six Months in Australia" written by Desire Charnay as part of a mission assignment by the Ministry of Public Education. The image depicts an Aboriginal couple who have become prisoners or bondmen, their bodies stripped bare and vulnerable. Their expressions reveal fear and desperation as they attempt to escape from their captors. The artist skillfully portrays the anguish and determination etched onto their faces. This artwork sheds light on the harsh reality faced by Indigenous Australians during this time period. It serves as a reminder of the injustices suffered by these native people at the hands of colonial powers. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical piece, allowing us to reflect upon Australia's past and contemplate its impact on present-day society. Leonard de Selva's photography beautifully captures every intricate detail of this engraving, ensuring that its message endures for generations to come. As we observe this powerful image, let it serve as a call for empathy and understanding towards those whose voices were silenced throughout history. May it inspire conversations about equality and justice within our own communities today.
