EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a significant moment in Australian exploration history. The print showcases the renowned Australian explorers of 1879, immortalizing their contributions to the country's rich heritage. Created by McFarlane and Erskine, this artwork beautifully portrays Sir George Grey, Ernest Giles, John McDouall Stuart, Alexander Forrest, Ludwig Leichardt, Charles Sturt, Robert O'Hara Burke, and William John Wills. At the center of the composition stands an impressive monument dedicated to Burke and Wills in Melbourne. This sculpture symbolizes their courageous spirit and serves as a reminder of their fateful expedition across uncharted territories. The artist skillfully captures each explorer's head and shoulders with meticulous detail. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this 19th-century masterpiece while emphasizing the solemnity of these historical figures' achievements. Their determined expressions reflect both the challenges they faced during their expeditions and their unwavering commitment to discovering new frontiers. David Blair's contribution to "The History of Australasia" further enhances our understanding of Australia's exploration narrative through this remarkable print. It transports us back in time to an era when these brave men embarked on daring journeys into unknown lands for discovery and adventure. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are reminded not only of Australia's vast landscapes but also of its resilient pioneers who shaped its identity as a nation.
