EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the dignified presence of The Right Rev. Dr. Bromby, the new Bishop of Tasmania in 1864. Dr. Bromby, who was consecrated in Canterbury Cathedral just a few months prior to this portrait being taken, exudes an air of authority and wisdom befitting his position as a leader in the Anglican church.
The image shows Dr. Bromby with a full beard, a common feature among clergyman of that era, adding to his distinguished appearance. His eyes seem to gaze directly at the viewer, conveying both strength and compassion.
As the last Colonial bishop to be nominated by the British crown, Dr. Bromby held a significant role in shaping religious life in Australia during this period. His introduction by Bishop Nixon and the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol at his consecration speaks to his esteemed reputation within the church community.
This engraving from "Illustrated London News" serves as a timeless reminder of Dr. Bromby's legacy as a dedicated servant of God and leader within the Church of England. It is a testament to his commitment to spreading faith and guiding believers in Tasmania during a pivotal moment in history for both religion and colonialism.
