EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1885-1888 showcases a remarkable scene of a Family of New South Wales natives engaged in the age-old tradition of hunting and butchering a kangaroo. The image captures the essence of their successful hunting expedition, as they gather around the magnificent creature, ready to prepare it for cooking. The intensity of this moment is palpable; you can almost feel the heat radiating from the fire that will soon be used to cook their well-deserved meal. The family's expertise in hunting is evident as they skillfully go about their task, demonstrating generations' worth of knowledge passed down through time. Intriguingly, this print not only portrays an important cultural practice but also offers us a glimpse into the physics behind such activities. Friction and force are at play here as these resourceful gatherers employ precise techniques to ensure efficient butchering. As we admire this historical artwork sourced from Leipzig, Germany, we cannot help but appreciate its significance in documenting Australia's indigenous heritage. It serves as a reminder that long before modern conveniences existed, families relied on their skills and deep connection with nature to provide sustenance for themselves and their communities. This photograph print by F Ratzel Volkerkunde allows us to reflect upon our own relationship with food and how it has evolved over time. It invites us to honor those who came before us while acknowledging our responsibility towards preserving both cultural traditions and natural resources for future generations.
