EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cricket in Western Australia, the New Norcia Aboriginal Team" takes us back to a significant moment in sporting history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print showcases the pioneering spirit of the New Norcia Aboriginal cricket team. The image transports us to a time when sports were not only about competition but also served as a bridge between cultures. The New Norcia Aboriginal Team, hailing from Western Australia, proudly dons their cricket whites while posing for this illustration originally published in The Graphic on May 17th, 1879. Intriguingly captured by Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection and now part of a private collection, this artwork speaks volumes about inclusivity and breaking down barriers through sport. It symbolizes the resilience and determination of these Indigenous athletes who defied societal norms to participate in one of England's most beloved games. As we gaze at this historic scene frozen in time, we are reminded that sports have always possessed the power to unite people across different backgrounds. This engraving serves as both a testament to human connection and an acknowledgment of the rich cultural heritage embedded within Australian cricket history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for future generations to appreciate its historical significance. Let it serve as a reminder that even amidst adversity, shared passions can bring communities together – transcending boundaries with each swing of the bat or toss of the ball.
