EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 25b / b Profile of unidentified Pacific Island showing a lagoon, 1768-75" by William Hodges showcases the beauty and mystery of an unknown Pacific Island. The image depicts a stunning coastline with a serene lagoon nestled amidst the island's lush greenery. Created during Captain Cook's Second Voyage between 1772 and 1775, this artwork is part of a collection curated by Admiral Isaac Smith. Hodges, along with other artists such as Henry Roberts, contributed their sketches, drawings, maps, and watercolors to document this historic expedition. The dimensions of the album measuring at 49 x 70 cm highlight the attention to detail in capturing every aspect of this uncharted territory. This drawing serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important geographical record. Transporting us back to the XVIII century exploration era, this piece evokes a sense of wonderment about distant lands waiting to be discovered. It portrays an isolated oasis surrounded by vast oceans that were yet to be fully explored. With its rich colors and meticulous rendering of coastlines and elevations, this painting invites viewers on a visual journey into the past. It reminds us of the courage and curiosity that drove explorers like Captain Cook to venture into uncharted territories in search of knowledge. Preserved at Mitchell Library in New South Wales State Library since then, this remarkable artwork continues to inspire awe for its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
