EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Port Arthur during the Occupation in 1901. The image showcases Manson Cove and Settlement Hill, with the imposing Penitentiary at Port Arthur looming in the background. Built by convicts during the 18th and 19th centuries, this former penal colony of the British Empire on Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula holds a rich legacy. Taken from "Federated Australia" published by The Werner Company in London, this photograph offers a glimpse into Australia's colonial past. It portrays an exterior view of Port Arthur, highlighting its strategic location as a harbor and dock for ships during that era. The image evokes thoughts about crime, law, and punishment within this occupied territory. It serves as a reminder of Australia's convict history while also showcasing its geographical features with Manson Cove providing a picturesque backdrop to this historic site. Although created by an unknown photographer, this print preserves an important piece of Australian heritage. Its monochromatic tones add depth to the scene while emphasizing the historical significance it represents. As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, it invites us to reflect on Australia's journey towards federation and how places like Port Arthur played their part in shaping the nation we know today.
