About the Item
Title: Indigenous Rituals and Ceremonies of New Holland
Description: This lithograph, circa 1836, offers a glimpse into the cultural practices of Indigenous Australians in New Holland (modern-day Australia), as observed by Dumont d'Urville's expedition aboard the Astrolabe. The scenes depict two distinct rituals that emphasize community, tradition, and physical endurance.
The upper panel portrays a group of young Indigenous boys performing a ceremonial dance. The boys, draped in minimal clothing, move energetically in front of an attentive audience, with figures seated in a circle on the ground. A ceremonial fire burns in the distance, contributing to the sense of ritual and significance in this social gathering. This scene highlights the strong ties to community and tradition, showcasing the importance of performance in cultural life.
The lower panel presents a more physically demanding event, where a group of boys, led by adult figures, imitates the movements of dogs. The children, crawling on the ground, are being guided and instructed by the adults, whose actions are mirrored by the participants in the ritual. This reenactment of animal behavior suggests a connection to the land, survival, and the essential skills for hunting and tracking.
Created by Louis Auguste de Sainson, this lithograph was later reproduced in Brodtmann's *Entdeckungs, Reise der Franzosischen Corvette Astrolabe*. It serves as an early ethnographic record of Indigenous Australian life, offering insights into the customs and rituals that defined these communities.
