EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "I now took possession in right of His Majesty King George III by the name of New South Wales" showcases a significant moment in history. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring to life the remarkable journey of Captain James Cook, an esteemed explorer and cartographer. The image depicts Cook's historic claim of possession on behalf of King George III over the land that would later become known as New South Wales. This act symbolizes the beginning of European settlement in Australia, forever altering its course. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time when discovery was at its peak. It serves as a reminder of the audacity and ambition that drove explorers like Cook to venture into uncharted territories, mapping unknown lands for future generations. The historical significance cannot be overstated; it represents not only the birthplace of modern Australia but also marks one chapter in a larger narrative that shaped Oceania's cultural landscape. From this single act emerged an entire nation with diverse cultures and peoples who call themselves Australians today. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a window into our past, inviting us to reflect on how exploration has shaped our present reality. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and resilience while honoring those who paved the way for new horizons.
