EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact known as the Proclamation Board, which was painted in Van Diemens Land around 1830 during Governor Arthur's tenure. The board was intended to convey the notion that both colonists and Aboriginals were equal before the law, promoting a policy of friendship and equal justice. However, it is important to note that this depiction did not accurately reflect reality during the intense period of conflict known as the Black War. Published in The Strand Magazine in 1897, this image offers us a glimpse into an era where ideals clashed with harsh realities. Governor Davey's proclamation aimed to establish harmony between settlers and Indigenous peoples; however, it failed to acknowledge the deep-seated inequalities and injustices prevailing at that time. The photograph invites contemplation on how history can be shaped by propaganda or idealistic portrayals. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to critically examine narratives presented through visual mediums. Ken Welsh's expertly captured image allows us to appreciate this piece of history while acknowledging its limitations in capturing the complex dynamics between colonizers and Aboriginal communities. As we delve into this thought-provoking artwork, let us strive for a more comprehensive understanding of our shared past while working towards reconciliation and equality for all.
