About the Item

Antique Print of 11 Australian Scenes – Kangaroo, Temple Natives, c.1844 This antique print, published around 1844 in *Album für Freunde der Länder und Völkerkunde* (Album for Friends of Geography and Ethnology) in Leipzig, presents eleven distinct scenes of Australia, offering a fascinating mid-19th-century European perspective on the continent’s landscapes, people, and wildlife. At the center is a dramatic view of a volcanic mountain rising above a coastal scene, while the surrounding vignettes illustrate diverse aspects of Australian life and nature. Among these are depictions of a kangaroo, indigenous people in traditional attire, missionary settlements, a temple-like structure, and everyday activities such as agriculture and fishing. Other details include European encounters with the local population and colonial ships along the coast. This work reflects the 19th-century fascination with distant lands and cultures, combining ethnographic observation with the artistic imagination of the period. Prints such as this were produced for an educated European readership eager to learn about the wider world at a time when colonial exploration and expansion were reshaping global connections. The mixture of natural history, ethnographic portraiture, and exotic scenery embodies the Romantic vision of the age. Condition report: Very good condition, with light age toning and a few minor handling traces in the margins. The engravings are sharp, and the plate mark is clearly visible. Framing tips: A cream or ivory mat will enhance the fine detailing of the multiple scenes, while a slim black or dark wood frame provides a neat presentation. For a more classical look, a gilt frame emphasizes the print’s decorative and historic qualities. Technique: Engraving Maker: Published in Leipzig, c.1844, in *Album für Freunde der Länder und Völkerkunde*
