EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Aborigines of Australia, 1879" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous people of Australia. Created by McFarlane and Erskine as part of The History of Australasia publication in 1879, this print showcases the remarkable artistic talent and attention to detail. The image portrays a group of Aboriginal men and women dressed in traditional attire against the backdrop of the Australian bush. Each figure exudes strength and resilience, their faces reflecting a deep connection to their land. The intricate details captured by McFarlane and Erskine bring to life the unique patterns adorning their clothing, highlighting both individuality and shared identity within this diverse community. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, it is important to acknowledge that these individuals represent an ancient culture with a history spanning thousands of years. Their presence on this vast continent predates European settlement by millennia. This lithograph serves as a reminder not only of their existence but also as an invitation for us to learn about their customs, traditions, and contributions to Australian society. Through David Blair's collaboration with McFarlane and Erskine on The History of Australasia project, we are granted access to moments frozen in time – glimpses into lives lived long ago. Let us appreciate this artwork for its historical significance while honoring the enduring legacy left behind by these resilient Aboriginal communities.
