EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century drawing, titled "New South Wales, Port Jackson from the entrance up to Sydney Cove," is a precious gem from the Watling Collection, held by Mary Evans Prints Online. Created in October 1788 by an unidentified Port Jackson Painter, this illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the early European exploration of the Sydney Cove area in New South Wales, Australia. The drawing depicts a panoramic view of Port Jackson Harbour, with Sydney Cove at its heart. The natural beauty of the coastline is evident, with its rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and the tranquil waters of the harbor. The landform of the area is revealed in intricate detail, showcasing the geomorphology of the region as it appeared over 230 years ago. The drawing is a significant historical document, providing valuable insights into the early European settlement of New South Wales. It is believed that the British fleet, led by Captain Arthur Phillip, arrived in Port Jackson in January 1788, and this drawing was likely created shortly after their arrival. The drawing is also an important addition to the body of knowledge about the early exploration and mapping of the Australian coastline. The Watling Collection is a treasure trove of historical illustrations, maps, and charts, and this drawing is a testament to its rich and diverse holdings. The intricate details of the drawing, from the contours of the land to the texture of the water, transport us back in time, allowing us to witness the beauty and wonder of Sydney Cove as it was seen by the first European settlers.
