EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century drawing, titled "Wear rung" or "Mr. Long" and "Karra da" from the esteemed Watling Collection, offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the lives of two Indigenous Australian figures from the Booroobeerungal Tribe. The drawing, created by the skilled hand of Thomas Watling between 1792 and 1797, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Australia's Indigenous peoples during this period. Wear rung, also known as Mr. Long, is depicted as a tall, strong man with a distinctive scar on his left cheek. He wears a simple loincloth and carries a spear, indicating his status as a warrior or hunter within his tribe. By his side stands Karra da, a man of similar stature, who is believed to have exchanged names with Captain Ball during an encounter. Both men are shown with their arms crossed, suggesting a sense of calm confidence and composure. The Watling Collection, which includes this drawing, is an invaluable resource for historians, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the history of Australia and its Indigenous peoples. The collection offers a unique perspective on the lives of the Indigenous people during the late 18th century, a time when European settlement was beginning to significantly impact their way of life. This historic illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples, both in Australia and around the world. It also highlights the importance of historical records and collections like the Watling Collection, which provide valuable insights into the lives and experiences of people from the past.
