EDITORS COMMENTS
Notes with our Australian Squadron (engraving) captures a moment of tranquility and camaraderie amidst the bustling activities of the Australian Squadron. The print, created by William Lionel Wyllie in 1886, showcases a scene where sailors from HMS Swinger are seen relaxing in a peaceful garden. In this enchanting image, the sailors can be seen passing notes to each other while enjoying a quiet rubber game. The gunboat and its defences stand tall in the background, symbolizing their readiness for any potential threats. Moreton Bay and Brisbane River provide a picturesque backdrop to this serene setting. The visit of Sir Anthony Musgrave, Governor of Queensland at that time, adds an air of importance to the occasion. His presence is marked by the anchored HMS Swinger and other vessels like HMS Miranda, HMS Nelson, and HMS Undine. This engraving also hints at exciting adventures beyond Australia's shores as it references New Guinea and Sydney Harbour. It further highlights significant locations such as Breakfast Creek, Government House, Fort Litton in Brisbane - later known as Sir Peter Scratchley's yacht - Pippo. Wyndham Hulme's detailed illustration allows us to delve into history and witness moments when naval officers could find solace amidst their duties. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistic skill and historical significance.
