EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "Opp. p. 260. Port Hunter, Duke of Yorks Island, May 1791, c. 1802 (w/c)" by William Bradley would read as follows: This watercolor painting captures a moment in history during the expedition to New South Wales in May 1791. Created by British naval officer and artist William Bradley, this artwork is part of his journal titled "A Voyage to New South Wales". The painting showcases Port Hunter on Duke of Yorks Island, providing a glimpse into colonial history. Bradley's meticulous attention to detail brings alive the scene with its vibrant colors and stunning composition. The HMS Sirius, flagship vessel of the First Fleet from Portsmouth that established Australia's penal colony, takes center stage amidst a picturesque seascape. Intriguingly, figures can be seen along the shoreline - possibly indigenous natives or military personnel - adding depth and context to this historical moment frozen in time. Measuring approximately 13.2 x 19.3 cm inside framelines and housed within Mitchell Library at State Library of New South Wales, this artwork offers an invaluable insight into early Australian maritime exploration. With its rich narrative and artistic brilliance, this piece serves as a testament to Bradley's talent as both an accomplished sailor and skilled artist capturing significant moments from his voyage across uncharted waters.
