EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Indigenous aborigines employed as loggers in Coranderk. The engraving, based on a drawing by A. Sirouy, was created to illustrate the story "Six Months in Australia" by Desire Charnay. This mission assignment was commissioned by the Ministry of Public Education in 1878 and later published in the renowned magazine "Le Tour du Monde" under the direction of Edouard Charton. The image transports us back to a time when these indigenous individuals played an essential role in Australia's logging industry. Their strength and resilience are evident as they navigate through dense forests, their connection with nature palpable. It is crucial to recognize that this engraving represents not only a historical document but also serves as a testament to the cultural heritage and contributions of Indigenous aborigines. Through this artwork, we gain insight into their lives and labor during this period. The Selva Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of art, allowing us to appreciate its significance today.
