EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by William Strutt in 1860, depicts the renowned Robert O Hara Burke. A man of Irish descent, Burke was not only an explorer but also a soldier and police officer. He gained fame as the leader of the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition across Australia. In this portrait, we see a half-length view of Burke with his striking beard that adds to his air of adventure and determination. His gaze is focused yet contemplative, reflecting the challenges he faced during his ambitious journey. The engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the tragic fate that awaited Burke on this expedition. Despite setting out from Melbourne in August 1860 with hopes of discovering a route across the continent to Gulf of Carpentaria, poor organization and leadership plagued their efforts. Ultimately, it was at Burkes Waterhole on Copper Creek in South Australia where he met his untimely demise. Burke's legacy lives on as an immigrant who dared to explore unknown territories and lead one of history's most infamous expeditions. This print captures both his spirit as an explorer and the hardships he encountered along the way. As we admire this historical artwork from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us remember Robert O Hara Burke for his courage and ambition in pushing boundaries despite facing insurmountable odds.
