EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early days of Australia's colonial history. Captured by British naval officer William Bradley during his voyage to New South Wales in 1802, this painting offers a glimpse into the maritime expedition that led to the establishment of a penal colony. In this scene, we witness HMS Sirius, the flagship of the First Fleet, sailing through Port Jackson. The calm waters reflect the serenity of this momentous journey as rowing boats and military troops navigate their way towards land. The composition beautifully captures both the vastness and tranquility of Australia's coastal landscape. The title hints at an intriguing event - "when the Fish was shot" - leaving us curious about what transpired on that fateful day. Perhaps it refers to a significant catch or encounter with marine life during their exploration. This artwork not only showcases Bradley's artistic talent but also serves as an invaluable historical document for understanding Australia's colonial past. Preserved in Mitchell Library at State Library of New South Wales, it allows us to connect with our roots and appreciate how far we have come since those early days. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves aboard those vessels and experiencing firsthand what it must have been like to embark on such an extraordinary adventure across uncharted seas.
