EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Page 32a View, possibly of Dusky Bay, New Zealand" takes us back in time to the late 18th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is William Hodges, a talented painter known for his depictions of Captain Cook's second voyage. The scene captured in this print showcases the rugged beauty and untamed nature of Dusky Bay. The choppy waters of the ocean are depicted with remarkable detail and realism, evoking a sense of movement and power. The dark and gloomy atmosphere adds an air of mystery to the composition. As our eyes wander through the image, we are drawn towards the majestic mountains that jut out from the landscape. Their jagged peaks create a dramatic contrast against the grey sky, emphasizing their grandeur and dominance over their surroundings. Dusky Sound stretches out before us like a fjord or fiord, its cliffs rising high above sea level. This view transports us to Oceania's vast expanse as we imagine ourselves standing on those very shores centuries ago. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to exploration and expedition during the 18th century. It allows us to appreciate both Hodges' artistic talent and his ability to convey emotion through monochrome tones. Displayed proudly at Mitchell Library in New South Wales, Australia, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in history while marveling at its timeless beauty.
