EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Van Diemens Island, also known as Tasmania, from a series of world maps published by John Tallis & Co. in the 1850s. The intricate engraving by John Rapkin beautifully captures the essence of this stunning landscape. The image transports us back in time to an era when Tasmania was still relatively unexplored and mysterious. The vignette illustrations by H. Warren, engraved by J. Rogers, add a touch of elegance and detail to the overall composition. One notable feature depicted in this print is the Residence of the V. D. L Companys Agent at Circular Head, which stands prominently amidst its surroundings. This architectural gem serves as a reminder of the island's colonial past and its connection to British history. As we delve deeper into the image, we are reminded of Tasmania's unique wildlife heritage. The presence of thylacinus cynocephalus or Tasmanian wolves adds an element of intrigue and fascination to this already breathtaking scene. With its picturesque port nestled along the Indian Ocean coastline, Van Diemens Island exudes tranquility and natural beauty. It invites us to explore further beyond what meets the eye – perhaps even uncovering hidden treasures within its rugged terrain. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into Tasmania's rich history and diverse landscapes that continue to captivate adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike.
