EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in the exploration of Australia. Taken from William Bradley's journal, "A Voyage to New South Wales" this image showcases the northeast side of Hummock Island, located off the southern end of Mindanoo. The detailed watercolor painting depicts the stunning landscape with precision and artistry. William Bradley, a British naval officer who was part of the First Fleet that established the penal colony in Australia, created this artwork during his expedition in August 1791. The dimensions of this piece are 13.2 x 19.3 cm inside framelines, making it a small yet impactful representation of colonial history. The painting showcases HMS Sirius, one of the ships in the British Navy fleet during that time period. It beautifully portrays sailing boats and rowing boats amidst an expansive ocean backdrop with islands scattered across its surface. In addition to highlighting natural elements like water and horizon, figures such as sailors and troops can be seen engaging in various activities on land and at sea. This composition offers insight into both military operations and indigenous culture present at that time. Preserved by Mitchell Library at State Library of New South Wales, this print serves as a valuable artifact for those interested in maritime history or Australian colonial exploration.
