EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 25b / c Profile of unidentified island, 1768-75" takes us back to the era of exploration and discovery. Created by William Hodges, a talented artist from the 18th century, this pen and ink drawing with wash captures the essence of Captain Cook's Second Voyage (1772-1775). The image showcases an unidentified island, its topography meticulously mapped out in intricate detail. The monochrome palette adds a sense of mystery and timelessness to the scene. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported to a world where brave explorers ventured into uncharted territories. Hodges' work not only serves as a visual record but also highlights the importance of surveying and mapping during these expeditions. The coastal elevation is carefully depicted, allowing us to envision the rugged shoreline meeting the vast expanse of sea. Displayed at Mitchell Library in New South Wales, Australia, this artwork is part of an extensive collection that Admiral Isaac Smith gathered during his voyages. It stands as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our planet and our relentless pursuit for knowledge. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it remind us of our ancestors who fearlessly sailed across oceans in search of new horizons.
