EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the treacherous journey of the HMS Sirius on November 25,1788. Painted by William Bradley, a British naval officer who took part in the First Fleet expedition to establish a penal colony in Australia, this artwork offers a glimpse into colonial history. The image depicts an icy pass at latitude 57 degrees 30 minutes south and longitude 288 degrees 00 minutes east. The bleak and isolated seascape is dominated by an enormous iceberg that looms ominously over the ship. The cold hues of grey evoke a sense of danger and uncertainty faced by those aboard. The HMS Sirius, serving as the flagship of the fleet, sails bravely through these icy waters. This painting not only showcases the bravery and determination of English sailors but also highlights their resilience in navigating such treacherous conditions. As we admire this historical artwork from Bradley's journal "A Voyage to New South Wales" we are reminded of the challenges faced by early explorers and colonizers. It serves as a testament to human courage and perseverance against nature's formidable forces. Displayed at Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this piece allows us to reflect upon our maritime past while appreciating both its artistic value and historical significance.
