EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir George Gipps, the distinguished Governor of New South Wales during the 19th century. The image, beautifully captured by WA Hirschmann in 1886, depicts Gipps in his military uniform, exuding a sense of authority and strength. Gipps served as Governor from 1838 to 1846, playing a crucial role in shaping the colonial history of Australia. As a representative of the British Empire, he governed with determination and foresight, leaving an indelible mark on New South Wales. The wood engraving was featured in the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, Volume I by Andrew Garran. Under Frederic B Schell's supervision, this publication aimed to provide readers with an artistic representation of life in Australia during that era. In this portrait-like engraving, Gipps gazes directly at the viewer with a stern yet composed expression. His presence commands attention and evokes respect for his leadership. This historical artifact not only captures an important figure but also offers us insight into the Victorian era and its influence on colonial territories like New South Wales. It serves as a reminder of Britain's imperial reach during that time and highlights Gipps' significant contributions to Australian history. Preserved through time by The Print Collector2 under Andrew Garran's authorship alongside WA Hirschmann's artistic vision and Frederic B Schell's guidance; this print is truly a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence.
