EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World published in Florence, Italy in 1844, offers a captivating glimpse into the lives of the Aboriginal people in West Australia during the mid-19th century. The image depicts a group of Aboriginal huts and a village scene, nestled amidst the rugged landscape. The huts, constructed from branches and bark, are arranged in a semi-circular formation around a communal campfire. The villagers are shown engaged in various activities, including hunting and tending to their children. The Aboriginal people of Western Australia, also known as the Noongar people, were the traditional custodians of the land. They were skilled hunters and gatherers, living in harmony with nature for thousands of years. The spears and shields seen in the image are typical weapons used by the Aboriginal men for hunting and protection. The campfire was the heart of the community, providing warmth, light, and a place for social gatherings and storytelling. This engraving is an invaluable historical document, providing a visual record of the Aboriginal way of life in Western Australia during a time when European settlement was beginning to encroach upon their lands. It is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and resilience of the Aboriginal people, who continue to maintain their traditions and connection to the land despite the challenges of modernity.
