This historical illustration depicts a meeting between Indigenous people and European explorers along the Wickham River. Set in a grassy, tree-lined landscape, the scene shows both groups gathered in a circle—some seated, others standing—engaged in what appears to be a negotiation or exchange. The Indigenous figures carry spears and wear traditional attire, while the Europeans are dressed in formal colonial clothing and hats. A dog rests in the foreground, adding a domestic touch to the otherwise formal encounter. The image captures a moment of cross-cultural interaction, reflecting the complexities of colonial contact in 19th-century Australia.
