EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait painting depicts Colonel Lachlan Macquarie (1762-1824), a prominent Scottish figure who served as the fifth Governor of New South Wales from 1810 to 1821. The portrait, believed to have been painted around 1822, captures Macquarie's strong and determined character. Macquarie, a British Army officer and colonial administrator, is known for his significant contributions to the development of New South Wales. A subscription was raised in the Hawkesbury region of New South Wales to defray the cost of creating this portrait. The portrait's creation was a testament to the respect and admiration the people of New South Wales held for Macquarie's leadership and vision. The portrait was not commissioned by a company, but rather by the community as a tribute to their beloved governor. Macquarie's tenure as governor was marked by his focus on infrastructure development, including the construction of roads, bridges, and public buildings. He also implemented policies aimed at improving the lives of convicts and free settlers, such as the establishment of schools and the introduction of land grants. Macquarie's efforts helped to establish a more stable and prosperous colony. This portrait painting of Macquarie, created around 1822, is a valuable historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the life and legacy of a remarkable leader. The portrait was likely displayed in a prominent location in the colony, perhaps in a government building or public space, to serve as a reminder of Macquarie's achievements and the progress made during his time in office. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring impact of Macquarie's leadership and the importance of community support in shaping the future of a young colony.
