EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "King Billy" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a poignant glimpse into the life and struggles of one of Tasmania's last indigenous inhabitants. The engraving, created by an English School artist in 1870, showcases King Billy as he stands tall against a backdrop of historical significance. With its rich Victorian-era details and intricate craftsmanship, this artwork transports us to a time when history was being shaped. It reminds us of the resilience and strength exhibited by indigenous communities amidst colonization. The image also sheds light on the complex relationship between alcohol and society during that period. King Billy's presence evokes discussions around alcohol consumption, highlighting both its allure and detrimental effects on individuals and communities alike. As we delve deeper into this piece, we are prompted to reflect upon Australia's colonial past and recognize the susceptibility faced by Aboriginal people towards addiction. This engraving serves as a reminder not only of their hardships but also their unwavering spirit in preserving their cultural heritage.
