EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lieutenant Colonel George Gawler, the esteemed second governor of South Australia. Dating back to 1886, this wood engraving from the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia offers a glimpse into the life of this influential Victorian-era figure. George Gawler, born in 1795 and passing away in 1869, served as governor from 1838 to 1841. His portrait exudes strength and determination, embodying the essence of a military leader. Dressed in his uniform with an air of authority, he stands tall against a backdrop that symbolizes both his British heritage and his significant role in shaping Australian history. The intricate details captured through wood engraving bring out the depth and character of Lieutenant Colonel George Gawler's face. Every line tells a story - stories of warfare, governance, dedication to duty, and service to country. This image serves as a testament to his contribution during a crucial period when Australia was still evolving. Andrew Garran's illustration under Frederic B Schell's supervision adds an artistic touch to this historical piece. The monochrome aesthetic enhances its timeless quality while allowing us to appreciate every nuance within the frame.
