EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 27a Ice Island, 1768-75" by William Hodges takes us back to the daring days of maritime exploration in the late 18th century. The image showcases a tall ship sailing through choppy waters surrounded by icy landscapes. The monochrome palette adds a sense of darkness and gloom, emphasizing the harsh conditions faced by sailors during their expeditions. The painting is part of a collection preserved at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, featuring original sketches, drawings, maps, and watercolors collected by Admiral Isaac Smith. These artworks primarily depict Captain Cook's Second Voyage (1772-1775), offering valuable insights into this historic expedition. As we gaze upon this frozen seascape, we can almost feel the biting cold and hear the creaking sounds of ice against wood. The ship stands tall amidst an ocean filled with towering icebergs as it bravely navigates its way forward. This image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and dangers encountered during these early explorations. Through Hodges' skilled brushstrokes and attention to detail, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the challenges faced by seafarers who ventured into uncharted territories. It is a testament to human curiosity and resilience that drove these brave souls to push beyond known boundaries in search of new horizons. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only Hodges' artistic talent but also provides us with a
