EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century drawing, titled "A View in N.S. Wales. Grotto Point in the entrance of Port Jackson" from the Watling Collection, offers a captivating glimpse into the early exploration of Australia's New South Wales coastline. The view, looking north-east towards the harbour, showcases the picturesque and rugged coastline of Grotto Point, with its distinctive pink cliffs and rocky outcroppings. The entrance to Port Jackson, the natural harbor of Sydney, is visible in the distance, framed by the undulating horizon. The drawing, created by an unknown Port Jackson painter between 1788 and 1797, provides a historical and geomorphological record of the region. The intricate details of the landforms, the way the sunlight dances on the water, and the subtle color palette all serve to transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the beauty and wonder of this landscape as it was first discovered by European explorers. The drawing also highlights the richness and diversity of the art and illustration produced during this period of exploration and discovery in Australasia. The use of the term "Port Jackson Painter" suggests that this work was created by an artist who was part of the early European community in the region, adding to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this stunning illustration, we are reminded of the enduring allure of the coastline, the power of the sea, and the importance of preserving the past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
