EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 6 Island of Bonavista: 2 Profiles" takes us back in time to the late 18th century. The artwork, created by William Hodges, showcases two profiles of the Island of Bonavista in South West Newfoundland. The first profile, titled "Island of Bonavista S. W. distant 5 leagues" depicts a rugged coastline with towering mountains and a desolate shoreline. The artist's pen and ink technique combined with washes create a sense of depth and texture, bringing the landscape to life. In the second profile, named "The Island of Bonavista when the hill A, off which lies a ledge of rocks bears west 2 leagues" we are presented with another perspective of this isolated island. Here, Hodges captures the essence of exploration and surveying as he meticulously maps out the elevation and features of the land. These sketches were part of Admiral Isaac Smith's collection and primarily focused on Captain Cook's Second Voyage from 1772-1775. They provide valuable insights into geographical understanding during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel transported to an earlier time - a time when expeditions like Captain Cook's were pushing boundaries and uncovering new lands. It serves as a reminder not only of our planet's vast beauty but also our insatiable curiosity for discovery. Displayed at Mitchell Library in New South Wales' State Library, this historic artwork continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and evocative portrayal of nature's raw majesty.
