1 Putting Herbert Basedow Back in Focus : The 1928 Expedition to Arnhem Land Murray Garde , Apolline Kohen-Raimondo , 2004 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Aboriginal Studies , no. 1 2004; (p. 26-36)

'In 1928 ethnographer and geologist Herbert Basedow undertook a privately funded expedition through western Arnhem Land. The photographs he took on that trip constitute some of the first photographic images of western Arnhem Land rock-art. In addition to his photographs, Basedow kept a field journal that reveals a relatively enlightened attitude towards Aboriginal art, considering the views commonly held by Europeans about Aboriginal peoples during this era. The rock-art sites Basedow recorded in 1928 remain sites of significance to the Kuninjku site custodians who have their own contemporary interpretations of the paintings photographed by Basedow some 75 years ago. Comparisons are presented between Basedow's 1928 documentation and the contemporary Kuninjku view of these sites.'  (Publication abstract)
