EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "F. 32 Sea Horses" takes us back to the late 18th century and offers a glimpse into Captain Cook's final voyage. Created by John Webber, this watercolor masterpiece showcases the indigenous people encountered during this historic expedition. The image portrays a group of native men, strong and proud, standing alongside military sailors in their naval boat. Armed with guns and rifles, they appear ready for action as they navigate through the vast sea. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of these majestic creatures known as walruses, which are rowing alongside the boat. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we can't help but be drawn to the enormity of these sea creatures. Their sheer size is awe-inspiring and adds an element of wonder to the scene. This painting not only captures a moment in time but also highlights the diversity of marine life that was discovered during Captain Cook's exploration. With its rich colors and meticulous brushstrokes, "F. 32 Sea Horses" serves as a testament to John Webber's talent as an artist and his ability to bring history alive on canvas. It reminds us of the bravery exhibited by both explorers and indigenous peoples alike during this significant period in maritime history. Displayed at Mitchell Library within New South Wales' State Library collection, this print stands as a valuable piece that invites viewers to reflect upon our shared human heritage while marveling at nature's wonders.
