EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Page 28 Ice islands with the Resolution and Adventure, 1768-75" takes us back to a momentous era of exploration and adventure. Painted by William Hodges in the late 18th century, this maritime masterpiece showcases the second voyage of Captain Cook. The scene depicts icy waters filled with towering ice islands and treacherous waves. Two majestic tall ships, HMS Resolution and HMS Adventure, sail bravely through these frigid conditions. The dark and gloomy atmosphere adds an air of mystery to the image. Hodges' attention to detail is evident as he captures every nuance of this wintry seascape. The monochrome palette emphasizes the coldness of the environment while highlighting the sails billowing against a backdrop of choppy water. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast for maritime enthusiasts but also offers a glimpse into history's most daring expeditions. It symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery during that time period. Preserved at Mitchell Library in New South Wales, Australia, this remarkable piece stands as a testament to Hodges' talent as well as his contribution to documenting Captain Cook's voyages. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the challenges faced by these brave sailors on their quest for new horizons.
