EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the start of the Burke and Wills Expedition from Royal Park in Melbourne. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a significant chapter in Australian exploration. The print depicts several key figures involved in this ambitious expedition. Among them are W. J. Wills, Captain Dana, R. O. Burke, Dr. Becker, and Mr. Landells - all poised for their arduous journey into uncharted territories. An ambulance is also visible, ready to carry any sick members of the team. The scene exudes a sense of anticipation and determination as these brave explorers embark on their quest for discovery and adventure. Their faces reflect both excitement and trepidation as they prepare to face unknown challenges that lie ahead. This particular engraving is part of Edwin Hodder's book "Heroes of Britain in Peace and War" published around 1890 by Cassell & Co. , which aimed to celebrate remarkable individuals who shaped British history. Preserved through time with digital cleaning techniques, this image offers us a glimpse into an era when exploration was at its peak and serves as a testament to human curiosity and resilience. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we can't help but feel inspired by these courageous pioneers who paved the way for future generations seeking new frontiers beyond known boundaries.
