EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the entrance of Port Jackson on 27 January 1788. Painted by William Bradley, a British naval officer who was part of the First Fleet that established the penal colony in Australia, this artwork provides a glimpse into colonial history. The painting showcases HMS Sirius, a flagship vessel of the British Navy, sailing gracefully through the waters towards Port Jackson. The sailboat is surrounded by other ships from the fleet, symbolizing their arduous journey to this new land. The view is framed by majestic mountains and an expansive coastline, highlighting the natural beauty of Australia. Intriguingly detailed, this piece offers insight into maritime exploration during this era. It serves as a testament to Bradley's skills as both an artist and navigator. With its vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes, it transports viewers back in time to witness this significant event firsthand. Displayed at Mitchell Library in New South Wales' State Library, this print allows us to appreciate Australian history and its connection with Britain's naval presence. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be reminded of the bravery and determination exhibited by those early explorers who ventured into unknown territories aboard these magnificent vessels.
