"Port Jackson, New Holland Aborigines from the Blue Mountains" is an engraving by Forget, published in 1825, which forms part of the visual documentation from the voyage of the corvettes Uranie and Physicienne. This expedition, led by French naval officer and explorer Louis de Freycinet, embarked on a circumnavigation of the globe from 1817 to 1820. The engraving was included in the publication "Voyage Autour du Monde sur les Corvettes de l'Uranie," which detailed the scientific and ethnographic observations made during the journey.

The work captures the indigenous people of the Port Jackson area, now known as Sydney Harbour, and the Blue Mountains region in New South Wales, Australia. These areas were inhabited by various Aboriginal groups, including the Eora, Darug, and Gundungurra peoples. The engraving is significant as it provides a visual representation of the Aboriginal Australians during the early 19th century, a period marked by increasing European exploration and colonization.

Alphonse Pellion, a draftsman and artist who accompanied the expedition, played a crucial role in documenting the voyage through his detailed sketches and illustrations. His works, including the engraving by Forget, are valuable historical records that offer insights into the lives, appearances, and cultures of the indigenous populations encountered by the French explorers.

The publication of these engravings in 1825 contributed to the broader European understanding and appreciation of the diverse cultures and peoples of the world. It also reflects the era's burgeoning interest in ethnography and the natural sciences, driven by the Age of Enlightenment's emphasis on knowledge and discovery.

Overall, "Port Jackson, New Holland Aborigines from the Blue Mountains" stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Australia's indigenous peoples and the historical context of early European exploration in the region.
