EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of a map titled "Map of the western hemisphere, illustration from A journal of a voyage to the South Seas". Created by Sydney Parkinson in 1794, this artwork is an integral part of historical exploration and cartography. The map was featured in Parkinson's journal chronicling his expedition aboard His Majesty's ship, the Endeavour, commanded by Lieutenant James Cook. The intricate details on this map offer a glimpse into the world as it was perceived during the Enlightenment era. It highlights various regions including Australasia, North America, South America, and Oceania. This significant piece not only serves as a navigational tool but also reflects the British Empire's efforts in colonisation and naval dominance. With its rich history and connection to renowned naturalist Joseph Banks, who accompanied Cook on his voyage around the world, this print holds immense value for those interested in exploration and adventure. It transports viewers back to an era when brave explorers set sail into uncharted territories with hopes of discovering new lands and expanding knowledge. Displayed at Dixson Galleries within the State Library of New South Wales' Mitchell Library collection, this print is a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of understanding our planet. Its presence reminds us that there are still vast realms waiting to be explored beyond what we already know.
