EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history as British naval officer William Bradley documents his first encounter with native women at Port Jackson, New South Wales. The image is part of Bradley's journal "A Voyage to New South Wales" which chronicles his participation in the 1787 First Fleet expedition that established the penal colony in Australia. The painting showcases a picturesque seascape with a sailing boat anchored near the coast, serving as the backdrop for this historic meeting between cultures. Figures can be seen on both land and sea, including Aboriginal women surrounded by curious sailors from the British navy. The composition beautifully portrays the sense of curiosity and wonderment shared by both parties during this initial interaction. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of colonial history and highlights the significance of maritime exploration during this time period. Displayed within framelines measuring 13.2 x 19.3 cm, or smaller on a larger sheet measuring 19 x 24.3 cm, this artwork provides valuable insight into early encounters between European explorers and Indigenous Australians. Preserved at Mitchell Library within State Library of New South Wales, this piece serves as a testament to Bradley's contributions to Australian history and invites viewers to reflect upon our shared past while acknowledging its complexities and cultural diversity.
