EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Opp. p. 36. In Rio Janeiro, looking towards the Entrance" captures a stunning view of Rio de Janeiro in 1787. The artwork, created by William Bradley, showcases his incredible talent as a British naval officer and artist. Bradley's drawing is part of his journal from the voyage to New South Wales in 1802. As a participant in the First Fleet expedition that established the penal colony in Australia, Bradley had an intimate understanding of maritime exploration and colonial history. The dimensions of this print are approximately 13.2 x 19.3 cm inside framelines, making it a small yet powerful depiction of this historical moment. The scene features several ships sailing on the water, including HMS Sirius, which was part of the British Navy fleet during that time. In addition to showcasing the beauty and vastness of Rio de Janeiro's seascape, this artwork also provides insight into Brazil's rich history as a Latin American country. It offers viewers a glimpse into daily life with fishing boats dotting the horizon and troops from both navy and army present on land. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at Mitchell Library State Library of New South Wales, we can't help but be transported back to an era when exploration was at its peak and new frontiers were being discovered across continents.
