EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 24 The Bay of Amsterdam, Friendly Islands, 1768-75" by Henry Roberts showcases a stunning seascape from the late 18th century. The artwork is part of the collection at Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales and features original sketches and drawings collected by Admiral Isaac Smith. The image transports us to the South Pacific, specifically to the beautiful Bay of Amsterdam in the Friendly Islands. The scene depicts a picturesque coastline with lush landmasses and crystal-clear waters. Sailing boats gracefully glide across the ocean's surface, their billowing sails catching the gentle breeze. As we delve into this historical piece, we are reminded of Captain Cook's Second Voyage (1772-1775) and his exploration of these remote regions. This painting captures not only the natural beauty but also highlights the significance of coastal exploration during that era. The monochrome color scheme adds a timeless quality to this watercolor masterpiece. It invites us to appreciate both its artistic merit and geographical accuracy. From tall ships to traditional canoes dotting the shoreline, every detail tells a story about maritime history in Oceania. With its impressive dimensions measuring 49 x 70 cm, this print offers an immersive experience for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Its rich depiction invites viewers on a visual journey back in time to witness firsthand one of Captain Cook's remarkable discoveries in Polynesia – an awe-inspiring testament to human curiosity and exploration.
