EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century drawing, titled "A View of the Entrance into Port Jackson Harbour" by a Port Jackson Painter from the esteemed Watling Collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early exploration of Australia's New South Wales coast. The image, dated between 1788 and 1797, depicts the entrance to Port Jackson Harbour from the western perspective. The tranquil daytime scene showcases the natural beauty of the harbour, with its calm waters reflecting the clear blue sky above. The entrance to Port Jackson Harbour was a significant location for the early European settlers, as it provided a safe haven for ships and served as the primary point of contact between the indigenous people of the region and the new arrivals. The drawing captures the outside view of the harbour's entrance, with the rocky cliffs and lush greenery surrounding the area. The historical significance of this illustration lies in its representation of the early exploration of Australia's eastern coastline. The drawing provides valuable insight into the natural environment and the daily life of the early settlers, offering a unique perspective into a pivotal moment in Australian history. The intricate details of the drawing, from the ships anchored in the harbour to the individual trees lining the shore, highlight the skill and talent of the Port Jackson Painter. This beautiful and historic drawing is a must-see for anyone interested in the exploration of Australia and its rich history. The Watling Collection, which houses this drawing, is a testament to the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic and historical heritage of Australia and its people.
