EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Opp. p. 150. Ice Islands thro which the Sirius sailed December 14 1788 off Cape Horn" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created around 1802 by William Bradley, a British naval officer, this artwork captures the HMS Sirius sailing through treacherous ice islands during its expedition. Bradley's drawing is part of his journal from the voyage to New South Wales in 1787 as part of the First Fleet, which aimed to establish a penal colony in Australia. The dimensions of this print are approximately 13.2 x 19.3 cm inside framelines and showcase an icy seascape that evokes feelings of isolation and desolation. The image portrays the flagship ship navigating through freezing waters surrounded by towering icebergs, symbolizing both the challenges faced by early explorers and their determination to conquer new frontiers. It offers viewers a glimpse into colonial history and maritime exploration. As we gaze upon this painting, we can almost feel the bone-chilling coldness experienced by those brave sailors who ventured into uncharted territories on their journey across vast oceans. This remarkable artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for discovery and adventure despite facing harsh conditions along the way. It stands as a testament to human resilience and showcases Bradley's exceptional talent for capturing these awe-inspiring moments at sea.
