EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century drawing, titled "A view of Government Farm at Rose Hill, New South Wales 1791," is a rare and precious glimpse into the early history of Australia. Originating from the esteemed Watling Collection, this exquisite work of art was created by a skilled Port Jackson Painter in 1791. The scene depicts the Government Farm at Rose Hill, located in New South Wales, Australia, during its formative years. The drawing offers a breathtaking panorama of the farm, with its verdant fields and lush trees stretching out towards the horizon. The farm, established by the British in 1789 as an agricultural experiment, was a vital component of the early European settlement in New South Wales. The trees, a mix of eucalyptus and other native Australian species, stand tall and proud against the clear blue sky, their leaves casting dappled shadows on the ground below. The tranquil daytime scene is a stark contrast to the challenging conditions faced by the early settlers. The exploration and colonization of Australia was a significant undertaking, and the establishment of farms like Government Farm was essential for the survival of the European population. This drawing serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the early settlers and their efforts to create a new home in a land far from Europe. The drawing is a valuable historical illustration, providing a unique perspective on life in New South Wales during the 18th century. Its inclusion in the Watling Collection, which is renowned for its extensive collection of Australian historical artwork, further underscores its importance in documenting the early history of Australia. This work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in the exploration and colonization of Australia, as well as for those with a passion for 18th century art and illustration.
