In this wood engraving from the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, we are transported back to the late 19th century, where Fergusson's commanding presence demands our attention. Sir James Fergusson was not only a statesman but also an influential figure in Australian history. Serving as the governor of South Australia during his illustrious career, he played a significant role in shaping the country's political landscape. With his sideburns neatly groomed and sideboards impeccably styled, Fergusson exudes authority and sophistication. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this powerful image, emphasizing every detail on his face - from his piercing gaze to the lines etched by years of experience.

This print serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to Fergusson's legacy. It reminds us of an era when great men like him dedicated their lives to public service and governance. The intricate wood engraving technique employed here showcases the talent and craftsmanship behind its creation.
