With its imposing presence and intricate details captured by artist JR Ashton through wood engraving, this print offers a glimpse into the military might of the time. A lone male figure can be seen observing through binoculars, embodying the role of an artilleryman carefully monitoring his weapon. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing the gravity of warfare during the nineteenth century. The location itself holds significance as it symbolizes Australia's commitment to defense and protection. This powerful depiction serves as a reminder of our country's rich history and its dedication to safeguarding its shores. Created under the supervision of Frederic B Schell for Andrew Garran's Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, this wood engraving showcases not only technical expertise but also artistic talent. Through their collaboration, these creators have immortalized this moment in time for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, we are transported back over a century ago when weaponry like this 25-ton gun played an integral role in shaping nations' destinies.
