EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Truganina, the last Tasmanian woman" offers a poignant glimpse into the history of Australia's indigenous people. Created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection and was featured in Friedrich Ratzel's book, The History of Mankind. Truganina stands as a symbol of resilience and cultural heritage. As one of the last surviving members of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, her image serves as a reminder of the devastating impact colonization had on these ancient cultures. Tragically, Truganina witnessed firsthand the extermination and displacement that occurred during this dark period in Australian history. The engraving beautifully captures Truganina's strength and dignity. Her eyes reflect both sorrow for what has been lost and determination to preserve her people's legacy. Every line etched into this artwork tells a story - one that speaks volumes about Tasmania's rich ethnographical past. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember not only Truganina but also all those who suffered under colonialism. This print serves as an important reminder to honor and respect indigenous cultures worldwide while acknowledging their ongoing struggles for recognition and justice.
