This photo print, titled "Natives of Encounter Bay, making cord for fishing nets in a hut formed from the ribs of a whale" takes us back to South Australia in 1847. The image showcases the remarkable ingenuity and resourcefulness of the indigenous people living in Encounter Bay. In this scene, we witness a group of aboriginal individuals diligently crafting fishing nets inside a unique shelter made entirely from the massive ribs of a whale. Their expertise is evident as they skillfully weave reeds together to form strong cords that will be used for their traditional fishing practices. The hand-coloured engraving by George French Angas beautifully captures not only the intricate details of their work but also provides insight into their way of life. It serves as an important historical document showcasing both cultural traditions and survival techniques passed down through generations.
