EDITORS COMMENTS
Page 25b / a Map and profile of Palmerston Island, 1768-75 (pen & ink and w/c) by William Hodges captures the essence of exploration in the 18th century. This remarkable print, housed at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, showcases original sketches, drawings, maps collected by Admiral Isaac Smith. The intricately detailed drawing combines cartography with artistry to depict the coastline and shoreline of Palmerston Island. The artist's use of pen and ink alongside watercolors brings depth and life to this historical map. With its isolated location in the Pacific Ocean, this coral atoll was part of Captain Cook's second voyage (1772-1775), making it an important piece for understanding early exploration. The map not only provides geographical information but also offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by explorers during that time. It highlights elevation changes along with flat profiles, showcasing land formations on this remote island. The chart serves as a valuable resource for surveying and mapping purposes. As we admire this painting from the xviiith century, we are transported back in time to witness Captain Cook's expedition through Hodges' skilled brushstrokes. The sea surrounding Palmerston Island is beautifully depicted with shades of blue that evoke a sense of tranquility amidst maritime adventures. This artwork invites us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance as it sheds light on early exploration efforts in Oceania.
