About the Item
This compiled image showcases three detailed lithographs depicting the ceremonial and ritualistic practices of Indigenous Australian communities in New Holland (modern-day Australia), as observed during Dumont d'Urville's expedition aboard the Astrolabe in the early 19th century.
1. Top Panel: The first scene portrays boys adorned with ceremonial attire, seated or standing in a line after undergoing traditional rituals. A figure to the side appears to be guiding or instructing them, emphasizing the cultural significance of such rites.
2. Middle Panel: The second illustration captures a dynamic gathering where men are seen demonstrating courage and skills as part of a ceremonial event. The group is shown with weapons and shields, participating in what seems to be an initiation or test of bravery.
3. Bottom Panel: The final lithograph depicts a symbolic reenactment of a kangaroo hunt. The boys, guided by elders, crouch and mimic the hunt in preparation for their future roles as hunters, symbolizing the importance of survival skills within their culture.
These lithographs, created by Louis Auguste de Sainson and reproduced in Brodtmann’s *Entdeckungs, Reise der Franzosischen Corvette Astrolabe*, serve as a valuable ethnographic record of Indigenous life, offering insights into the traditions, social structures, and spiritual practices of Australia’s First Peoples.
Condition Report: The lithographs are in very good condition with light age toning and faint foxing visible in the margins, consistent with the piece's age. The image areas remain sharp and well-defined, with strong contrast and no significant damage or wear. Minor handling marks are present but do not detract from the overall presentation. The compilation showcases the scenes seamlessly.
