EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment in time from the 18th century, depicting Native Australians skillfully fishing in their traditional canoe in Port Jackson, New South Wales, Australia. The scene takes place against the backdrop of the beautiful and unfamiliar landscape of this new discovery, with the Norfolk Island in the distance and the clear blue waters of Port Jackson reflecting the sunlight. The Native fishermen, dressed in simple loincloths and adorned with body paint, expertly maneuver their canoe, expertly casting their lines and hooks into the water. The presence of the British ship, HMS Sirius, anchored in the foreground serves as a reminder of the European exploration and colonization that was underway in the region during this period. This painting, created by the renowned English artist George Raper in 1790, offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the indigenous people of Australia and their connection to the land and its resources. The artwork, titled 'Natives fishing in their Canoe, Port Jackson', is a valuable historical record and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of both Australia and Europe during the late 18th century.
