EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of Aboriginal communities in Queensland, Australia during the Victorian period. The image, likely taken during the late 1800s or early 1900s, depicts a group of Aboriginal people gathered around a lantern, their faces illuminated by its warm glow. The colonial British influence is evident in the Edwardian-era clothing worn by some of the individuals, as well as the presence of the lantern itself, which was a common tool used by European explorers and settlers during this time. The photograph provides a poignant reminder of the complex and often fraught relationship between Aboriginal peoples and European settlers during the colonial era. While the lantern may have been a symbol of progress and civilization to the Europeans, it also represented the intrusion of foreign culture and the beginning of a long history of displacement, assimilation, and marginalization for Indigenous Australians. Despite the challenges and hardships faced by Aboriginal communities during this period, the photograph also captures a sense of resilience and community. The group is gathered together, sharing a moment of connection and perhaps even solidarity in the face of adversity. The photograph invites us to reflect on the rich history and complexities of Indigenous Australian experiences during the Victorian period and beyond.
