EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite eye-sketch, titled "High water at Port Stephens at 10 o'clock," is a rare and captivating 18th-century drawing from the esteemed Watling Collection, held at Mary Evans Prints Online. Dated between 1791 and 1792, this masterpiece offers a unique perspective of Port Stephens, located to the north of Broken Bay in New South Wales, Australia. The drawing is attributed to a Port Jackson Painter, whose identity remains undisclosed, adding to its allure and historical intrigue. The artist's keen eye and skillful hand are evident in the intricate details, from the winding waterways and sandy beaches to the verdant vegetation and the distant silhouette of the headland. The eye-sketch is not just an illustration or a sketch, but a valuable chart and map of the area, which would have been essential for navigators and explorers during the early colonial period in Australasia. The precise depiction of the topography, depths, and currents would have been invaluable for mariners, enabling them to navigate the waters safely and efficiently. The drawing is a testament to the rich maritime history of New South Wales and the vital role that accurate cartography played in the exploration and settlement of the region. The Watling Collection, with its wealth of historical treasures, continues to provide scholars, historians, and enthusiasts with invaluable insights into the past, offering a window into the world of early Australian exploration and settlement.
