EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures Francois Peron examining an Aboriginal tomb on Maria Island, Tasmania. The print showcases three stages of the tomb - complete on the left, half opened in the center, and dismantled on the right. The grave is constructed with a cone of wooden fiber over long poles, providing a glimpse into ancient burial practices.
Handcolored by Sasso after Charles-Alexandre Lesueur and featured in Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," this illustration offers a rare insight into Tasmanian history and culture. The intricate details captured in this copperplate engraving highlight the craftsmanship involved in creating such tombs.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when these sacred burial sites held great significance for the Aboriginal peoples of Tasmania. Each pole and strand of wood tells a story of tradition and reverence for those who have passed on.
Through this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and honoring indigenous cultures around the world. It serves as a poignant reminder that our past holds valuable lessons that can guide us towards a more inclusive future.
