EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Opp. p. 56. Botany Bay" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the arrival of the Sirius and Convoy at Botany Bay on January 21,1788. Painted by William Bradley, a British naval officer who was part of the First Fleet that established the penal colony in Australia, this artwork offers a glimpse into colonial history. The image showcases the Supply and Agents Division within Botany Bay as the ships sail into its waters. The HMS Sirius, serving as the flagship of this expedition, stands tall amidst a picturesque seascape with rolling hills along the coastline. It is an extraordinary view that captures both the beauty and challenges faced by these early explorers. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are transported to a time when Australia was still being discovered and settled by European forces. The painting not only highlights their journey but also emphasizes their military presence with mentions of troops from both navy and army branches. With its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, Bradley's work brings alive this pivotal moment in Australian history for generations to come. This print serves as a reminder of our past while celebrating our progress as a nation today.
