Found: the earliest European image of Aboriginal Australians
The
earliest found European image of Aboriginal Australians, engraved in 1698,
depicts them resisting their enslavement. Recently discovered in the Hamilton
library of University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa it is an apocryphal image for its
times, intending to portray the Indigenous people described, “New Hollanders”,
as “unfit for labour”.
