EDITORS COMMENTS
Natives Gathered Round Them, c1908, (c1920) captures a significant moment in history as it depicts the encounter between Captain Matthew Flinders and George Bass with the indigenous people of Australia. This print by Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton showcases the curiosity and exploration that defined this era. In this image, we witness the meeting of two worlds - British explorers venturing into uncharted territories and native Australians observing their arrival with intrigue. The rocky coastline serves as a backdrop to this historic encounter, symbolizing both the challenges faced by these explorers and the resilience of the land they sought to discover. Flinders and Bass embarked on an expedition in 1795 from Sydney to explore Australia's south coast. Their journey not only confirmed Tasmania as an island but also contributed greatly to our understanding of Australian geography. This print transports us back to that pivotal moment when new horizons were being unveiled. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail, emphasizing the diverse group gathered around them – natives whose lives would forever be impacted by colonialism. It is a reminder of how exploration often came at a cost for indigenous populations. As we contemplate this photograph, we are reminded of the complexities inherent in historical narratives. It prompts us to reflect on past encounters between different cultures while acknowledging both their achievements and consequences.
