EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Arthur Phillip, a British Admiral and colonial governor. Created in 1886 by W Macleod as part of the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, this wood engraving beautifully captures Phillip's commanding presence. Arthur Phillip played a pivotal role in history as he was appointed Governor of New South Wales, overseeing the establishment of the first European colony on Australian soil in 1786. The city of Sydney owes its foundation to his visionary leadership and determination. This portrait immortalizes him as a pioneer and administrator who shaped the course of Australia's development. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this image, emphasizing Phillip's significance during the late 18th century and early 19th century. As an admiral serving under the British Empire, he symbolizes both naval strength and colonial ambition. Andrew Garran skillfully illustrated this wood engraving under Frederic B Schell's supervision for publication in the Picturesque Atlas Publishing Co. 's volume on Australasia. Through their collaboration, they have captured not only Phillip's likeness but also his essence as a key historical figure. This print serves as a reminder of Arthur Phillip's contributions to Australia’s colonization while highlighting his role as an attache between England and its growing empire across distant lands. It stands as a testament to his enduring legacy within Australian history.
