EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Opp. p. 90. View in Broken Bay New South Wales" takes us back to the historic month of March 1788. Created around 1802 by William Bradley, a British naval officer, this watercolor painting offers a glimpse into the early days of colonial Australia. The scene depicts a picturesque view of Broken Bay, located in New South Wales. The artist's meticulous attention to detail transports us to this coastal landscape, where lush trees meet the horizon and gently blend with the shoreline. The calm waters reflect the serenity of the moment, while sailboats dotting the bay hint at maritime exploration and trade. This artwork holds significant historical value as it captures an encounter between British sailors and indigenous Aboriginal people during their journey on the First Fleet expedition from Portsmouth to establish a penal colony in Australia. It serves as a reminder of both cultural exchange and conflict that shaped Australian history. Bradley's skillful brushstrokes bring life to this stunning seascape, evoking a sense of wonder about what these early explorers must have felt upon discovering such breathtaking landscapes on their voyage across uncharted territories. Preserved within Mitchell Library at State Library of New South Wales, this piece stands as a testament to Bradley's artistic talent and his contribution to documenting colonial history through his journal drawings. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its significance in capturing an important chapter in Australia's past – one that continues to shape its present identity.
