EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil sketch by William Westall takes us back to the year 1801, when an exploratory expedition led by Lieutenant Matthew Flinders embarked on a journey that would make history. The print depicts Orange Kloof, a gorge nestled in the majestic Table Mountain of South Africa. With his skilled hand and keen eye for detail, Westall masterfully captures the rugged beauty of this African landscape. The sketchy lines and delicate shading bring to life the rocky terrain, adorned with boulders that seem to defy gravity. It is as if we can feel the rough texture under our fingertips and hear the whispers of nature echoing through this untamed wilderness. As part of HMS Investigator's crew, Westall had a unique opportunity to document their voyage from Cape Colony to Australia. This particular drawing was created during their stopover at Orange Kloof, serving as a testament to their remarkable journey around Australia – the first ever circumnavigation. The word "kloof" derived from Afrikaans, perfectly encapsulates the essence of this artwork: a deep chasm carved into Earth's surface over millennia. Through Westall's skillful strokes, we are transported back in time and invited to marvel at Mother Nature's grandeur. This print serves as a reminder not only of Westall's artistic talent but also of humanity's insatiable thirst for exploration and discovery. It stands as a tribute to those brave souls who ventured into uncharted territories in search of knowledge and adventure.
