EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Charles Augustus FitzRoy, the distinguished Governor of New South Wales during the late 19th century. The image, captured by talented artist W Macleod in 1886, portrays FitzRoy in his military uniform, a symbol of his service to the British Empire. FitzRoy's tenure as Governor from 1854-1853 was marked by significant developments in colonial Australia. His leadership and vision played a crucial role in shaping the region's growth and prosperity. This wood engraving is part of the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, Vol I, a comprehensive publication illustrated under Frederic B Schell's supervision. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this portrait, transporting viewers back to a time when colonial expansion was at its peak. FitzRoy's stern yet dignified expression reflects his commitment to duty and responsibility as he navigated the challenges faced by New South Wales during that era. Andrew Garran's involvement further enhances this historical artifact; his meticulous attention to detail ensures that every aspect is faithfully represented. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of Sir Charles Augustus FitzRoy but also of the countless individuals who contributed to Australia's rich heritage. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document. It allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the remarkable achievements made by those who came before us.
