EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Henry Parkes, a prominent figure in Australian history. Born in 1815 and passing away in 1896, Parkes served as the 7th Premier of New South Wales and is widely regarded as the Father of the Australian Federation. The image, originally published in The Review of Reviews in 1891, captures Parkes' dignified presence and commanding aura. His piercing gaze reflects his determination to unite Australia's colonies into one nation. As an engraving from the late nineteenth century, it exudes a sense of historical significance. Parkes played a pivotal role in shaping Australia's political landscape during this time period. He tirelessly advocated for federation, believing that a united country would be stronger economically and politically. His efforts culminated with the establishment of the Commonwealth of Australia on January 1st, 1901. This portrait serves as a reminder of Parkes' immense contributions to his country. It symbolizes his unwavering commitment to creating a unified nation out of disparate colonies. Today, Australians honor him for his vision and leadership. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical importance captured within this image. It serves as an enduring testament to Sir Henry Parkes' lasting legacy as one of Australia's most influential statesmen.
