EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of a map titled "Map of the eastern hemisphere, illustration from A journal of a voyage to the South Seas". Created by Sydney Parkinson in 1794, this historic piece measures 34 cm in height and is housed in the Dixson Galleries at the State Library of New South Wales. The map originates from Parkinson's journal, which chronicles his expedition aboard His Majesty's ship, the Endeavour. Led by Lieutenant James Cook, this first voyage of discovery took place between 1769 and 1771 and explored Australia and New Zealand. The detailed illustrations within Parkinson's journal were embellished with views and designs he personally delineated. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an era of enlightenment and adventure. It symbolizes not only Captain Cook's exploration but also British naval mapping efforts during that time. This map serves as a testament to the spirit of discovery that fueled colonization efforts across continents. With its intricate details and historical significance, this print offers us a glimpse into an age when brave explorers like Joseph Banks embarked on perilous journeys around the world. It reminds us of their contributions to our understanding of geography while highlighting Oceania as both an alluring destination for exploration and a land rich in culture. Intriguingly engraved with precision, this image invites us to embark on our own mental voyage through history—a journey where imagination meets reality on uncharted shores.
