This print titled "Chart of Adventure Bay, Van Dieman's Land, c. 1773" takes us back in time to the early exploration days of Australia. Painted by Peter Fannin, this watercolor on paper artwork is housed at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, UK. The chart not only provides a detailed map of Adventure Bay but also showcases Fannin's artistic talent with his depiction of native flora and fauna. Amongst the vibrant colors and intricate details, we can spot various wildlife animals including sea birds and penguins that inhabit this Australian island. Dating back to the 17th century, this painting offers a glimpse into history when explorers were discovering new lands and encountering exotic creatures for the first time. The Japanese influence is evident in Fannin's work as he incorporates elements from Asian mythology and tradition.

This mysterious character embodies strength and serves as a protector against any potential threats that may arise during their stroll. Overall, this artwork not only serves as an important historical document but also highlights Fannin's skillful portrayal of nature and mythical elements.
