EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in Southern Australia" takes us on a visual journey back to the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the interior of South Australia, showcasing its diverse landscapes and indigenous people. The image transports us to a remote location where we find ourselves immersed in the stunning topography of Southern Australia. A majestic waterfall cascades down from rocky cliffs, creating a mesmerizing sight that captures our attention. In this untamed wilderness, we encounter two figures - an Aboriginal man and woman - who stand as representatives of the tribal communities that have inhabited these lands for centuries. Their presence adds depth and cultural significance to the scene; they are guardians of their ancestral home. As we observe them closely, it becomes apparent that they are engaged in their daily activities. Perhaps they are discussing their surroundings or contemplating life's mysteries amidst nature's splendor. Notably, lying nearby is a deceased emu - symbolizing both sustenance and sacrifice for these indigenous peoples. This detail serves as a reminder of their deep connection with nature and reliance on its resources for survival. Through this evocative print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported through time to witness the beauty and richness of Southern Australia's landscape while gaining insight into its original inhabitants' way of life.
