EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Aboriginal Inhabitants, II. Native Encampment at Portland Bay" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by George French Angas and engraved by J. W. Giles, this hand-coloured engraving showcases the indigenous people of Australia during the mid-19th century. In this particular scene, we are transported to a cold morning at Portland Bay where Cold Morning and his family reside. The image depicts an intimate glimpse into their daily life within their native encampment. As we observe closely, we see children playing around a sand dune while a loyal dog stands guard nearby. The aborigine family is surrounded by elements that reflect their deep connection with nature and survival skills. A canoe rests on the shore, symbolizing their relationship with waterways for transportation and sustenance. A warm fire burns brightly as they seek comfort from the chilly weather. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice intricate details such as walking sticks or canes held by some members of the family - perhaps tools used for hunting or gathering resources from surrounding caves. This engraving not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a reminder of Australia's rich indigenous heritage. It invites us to appreciate and respect the diverse cultures that have shaped this land for thousands of years.
