EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Bligh, a prominent British naval officer and Governor of New South Wales. Created in 1886 by the talented artist W Macleod, this wood engraving is part of the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, Vol I. William Bligh (1754-1817) is best remembered for his involvement in the mutiny aboard HMS Bounty. However, his contributions extended far beyond this infamous event. Serving as Governor of New South Wales from 1806 to 1808, Bligh played a crucial role in shaping colonial Australia. The monochrome portrait captures Bligh's authoritative presence and determination. Dressed in his naval uniform with an air of confidence, he exudes strength and leadership. The intricate details etched into the wood engraving bring out every line on his face and every button on his coat. Bligh's connection to Cornwall is evident through his Cornish heritage, which adds another layer to understanding this influential figure within the British Empire during the 19th century. This historical piece not only pays tribute to William Bligh but also highlights the significance of naval warfare during that era. It serves as a reminder of Britain's expansive reach across different continents and its impact on global history. Andrew Garran supervised this illustration under Frederic B Schell's guidance for publication by Picturesque Atlas Publishing Co. , making it a valuable addition to any collection celebrating both artistry and historical figures like William Bligh.
