EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century drawing, titled "Taken from the West side of Sydney Cove behind the Hospital" by Thomas Watling, offers a captivating view across Sydney Cove from the hospital towards Government House in New South Wales, Australia. Dated between 1792 and 1797, this historical illustration provides a glimpse into the early days of European exploration and settlement in the region. The drawing showcases the tranquil inlet of Sydney Cove, with its clear waters reflecting the vibrant blue sky and the sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. The hospital, a prominent feature in the foreground, stands as a testament to the early efforts to establish a British colony in the area. In the background, Government House, the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales, can be seen perched on a hill overlooking the cove. Thomas Watling, an accomplished artist and explorer, created this detailed and intricately rendered drawing during the early years of European settlement in Australia. The drawing not only captures the beauty of the natural surroundings but also provides valuable historical insight into the architecture and layout of the early colonial settlement. The scene depicted in this drawing is reminiscent of a peaceful and serene day in the history of Sydney Cove and Port Jackson. The sun casting long shadows and the calm waters of the cove create a picturesque setting that is both scenic and historic. This drawing is an invaluable addition to any collection of Australian history, exploration, and art and illustration.
