EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1820 in Port Stephen, New South Wales. The image features Wambela, the wife of Cobbawn Wogi, a native chief of the area. Captured by artist Richard Browne, this watercolor painting beautifully showcases the strength and resilience of Aboriginal culture during that time. Wambela's face is adorned with intricate traditional face paint, highlighting her connection to her heritage and community. Despite the challenges faced by Indigenous Australians during this period of history, her smile radiates warmth and grace. This photograph offers a glimpse into an important chapter in Australian history when European settlers were beginning to establish themselves on Aboriginal land. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural tapestry woven by First Nations people long before colonization took place. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork symbolizes not only Wambela's individuality but also represents countless untold stories from Australia's past. As viewers engage with this image, they are invited to reflect upon their own understanding of history and consider how it has shaped our present-day society.
