EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print, titled "Remarkable supported poles, in Port Townsend, Gulf of Georgia, 1798" by William Alexander, transports us back to the late 18th century in North America. The artwork is part of a collection prepared to illustrate George Vancouver's A Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean. The scene depicted showcases a stunning view across the water towards three remarkable supported poles along the shore near Port Townsend, Washington. As we gaze at the painting, two boats filled with uniformed British sailors can be seen approaching these intriguing structures. The artist's attention to detail and skillful use of watercolours bring this historical moment to life. The soft hues and delicate brushstrokes create a sense of tranquility that contrasts with the presence of bustling activity on the water. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into an era when European explorers were venturing into uncharted territories and encountering indigenous peoples such as the Indians of North America. It serves as a reminder of our rich maritime history and highlights the beauty and diversity found within our landscapes. "Remarkable supported poles" not only captures an important historical event but also showcases William Alexander's talent for capturing both natural scenery and human activity in his drawings. This piece stands as a testament to his mastery as an artist during the 18th century.
