Departure of Captain Sturt, August 1844 - A Glimpse into Australia's Pioneering Spirit
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured engraving takes us back to a significant moment in Australian history - the departure of Captain Sturt and his team on an ambitious expedition in August 1844. The image, captured by George French Angas and now part of a private collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of South Australia's colonial era. As we delve into this scene bustling with life, we witness men and women preparing for the arduous journey ahead. Horses are being saddled, carts loaded with supplies, while children curiously observe their surroundings. Amidst all this activity stands an aboriginal man, perhaps offering guidance or observing the unfolding events. The landscape depicted is both breathtaking and unforgiving; it hints at the challenges that awaited these brave explorers as they ventured deep into uncharted territories. It is worth noting that not all who embarked on this expedition would return home safely – Mr Poole among those who tragically lost their lives along the way. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Australia's pioneering spirit during its formative years. It encapsulates themes such as immigration, colonization, and coexistence between settlers and indigenous communities. Through Angas' masterful artistry, we are transported back to a time when dreams were pursued against all odds. Today, this historical artifact remains cherished within The Stapleton Collection - preserving our connection to
