EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the colonial history of Hobart Town, Van Diemens Land (now known as Tasmania). The engraving showcases a picturesque view of the town and its bustling harbor. In those days, Van Diemens Land served as a penal colony for Britain, with its colonization dating back to 1803. This image captures the essence of that era with its monochrome and line art style. Hobart Town, or Hobarton as it was then called, derived its name from Lord Hobart, the Colonial Secretary. The town's Georgian-style buildings stand tall against the backdrop of majestic mountains and serene bay waters. A sailing ship gracefully glides through the harbor, representing an important mode of transportation during this time. As we delve into this historical document, we are transported to an age when Australia was still part of New South Wales. It is fascinating to witness how this region has evolved over time while cherishing its traditional culture and heritage. This print serves as a reminder of our past - a testament to Australian history and social development. It sparks curiosity about life in a bygone era: from prisoner settlements to urban scenes; from colonial architecture to nautical vessels navigating uncharted waters. Whitemay's skillful depiction in steel engraving allows us to appreciate Australian ethnicity and cultural roots while reflecting on our journey towards progress and modernity.
