EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Hunter, a distinguished British naval officer and the second governor of New South Wales. The portrait, created in 1886 by W Macleod under the supervision of Frederic B Schell for the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, exudes an air of authority and strength. John Hunter's remarkable career spanned from 1737 to 1821, during which he served as Governor of the colony from 1795 to 1800. His leadership played a crucial role in shaping the history and development of New South Wales. As a naval officer hailing from Scotland, Hunter embodied both his Scottish heritage and his allegiance to the British Empire. The wood engraving beautifully captures Hunter's commanding presence, with intricate details that highlight his facial features and uniform. This monochrome portrayal evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era - an eighteenth-century world on the cusp of transformation into the nineteenth century. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to colonial Australia. It serves as a reminder not only of John Hunter's significant contributions but also represents an important chapter in Australian history. This print is not just an image; it encapsulates stories untold and invites us to delve deeper into our past. Andrew Garran's supervision ensures that every stroke conveys authenticity while Frederic B Schell's guidance guarantees artistic excellence. Together with W Macleod's skillful execution, they have immortalized John Hunter within
