EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a breathtaking view of an unidentified island, taken during the late 18th century. The artist, William Hodges (1744-97), attributed to this remarkable piece, used pen and ink along with wash techniques to create a stunning monochrome depiction. The image is part of a collection housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. The composition features an elevation profile of the island's mountains, revealing its steep and majestic terrain. The intricate details captured by Hodges transport viewers back to Captain Cook's Second Voyage (1772-1775), as these sketches were primarily made during that expedition. This historical significance adds depth and intrigue to the artwork. Measuring 49 x 70 cm, this album containing original sketches, drawings, maps collected by Admiral Isaac Smith provides valuable insights into geographical exploration during the xviii century. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about uncharted lands. As you gaze upon this extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let your imagination wander through time and space. Contemplate the courage it took for explorers like Captain Cook and artists like William Hodges to venture into unknown territories in search of discovery. Allow yourself to be captivated by the beauty and mystery encapsulated within this exceptional work of art.
