Fishing at Jervis Bay, Australia: Astrolabe Sailors and Indigenous People, 1836
About the Item
Title: Collaborative Fishing at Jervis Bay: Astrolabe Sailors and Indigenous People
Description: This engaging lithograph, circa 1836, depicts a lively scene at Jervis Bay, New Holland (modern-day Australia), where the crew of the French corvette Astrolabe interacts with the local Indigenous population. The image shows a dynamic exchange as sailors and Indigenous people collaborate in fishing activities, hauling in their catch along the shore. The Indigenous figures, depicted with spears and traditional attire, are actively involved in the event, showcasing their expertise and cultural practices.
In the foreground, fish and other marine creatures are spread across the beach, emphasizing the abundance and success of the communal effort. The background reveals the Astrolabe’s sailors, dressed in European uniforms, working alongside Indigenous individuals and unloading goods from small boats. Observing from a distance, a group of European officers and civilians adds another layer to this multicultural tableau, underscoring the mixture of curiosity, cooperation, and interaction during these encounters.
Created by Louis Auguste de Sainson, this lithograph was included in Dumont d'Urville’s voyage narratives and later featured in Brodtmann’s *Entdeckungs, Reise der Franzosischen Corvette Astrolabe*. This artwork is a vivid portrayal of early cross-cultural exchanges and the spirit of exploration in the 19th century.
