EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative drawing, titled "A Native going to Fish with a Torch and flambeaux, while his Wife and children are broiling fish for their supper" by an anonymous Port Jackson Painter from the late 18th century, offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of an Aboriginal family in Australia during the early colonial period. Part of the esteemed Watling Collection, this illustration showcases the Aboriginal people's deep connection to their land and their resourcefulness in utilizing the natural environment. The father figure in the drawing is depicted heading out to fish, armed with a torch and flambeaux, or torches, to navigate the dark harbor waters. His wife and children remain on the shore, tending to the fish that have been caught and preparing them for their evening meal. The family's simple yet effective cooking method involves placing the fish on rocks over an open fire, allowing the smoke to infuse the flesh with a smoky flavor. The harbor landscape in the background provides a stunning backdrop to the scene, with the reflection of the moonlit sky on the water adding a sense of tranquility and serenity. The family's traditional attire, consisting of minimal clothing made from animal hides, further underscores their strong bond with the land and their indigenous heritage. This drawing is an invaluable historical record of the Aboriginal people's way of life during the early colonial period in Australia. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural traditions that have shaped the continent's history and continue to influence it to this day. The Watling Collection, which houses this illustration, is a testament to the importance of preserving and celebrating the stories and experiences of Indigenous peoples throughout history.
