EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century drawing, titled 'Mr. Waterhouse endeavouring to break the Spear after Govr Phillips was wounded by Wil-le-me-ring where the Whale was cast on shore in Manly Cove,' is a mesmerizing depiction from the Watling Collection. The scene unfolds on the picturesque coastline of Australia, with Governor Phillips lying wounded on the sand, attended by Mr. Waterhouse and other colonists. The backdrop is set by the imposing carcass of a whale that has been beached in Manly Cove. The drawing, created by the skilled hand of Thomas Watling, captures the raw emotion and tension of the moment. Mr. Waterhouse, with a determined expression, attempts to break the spear of the indigenous Wil-le-me-ring, who is shown in the background, fleeing the scene. The boat in the foreground, with its oars raised, adds to the sense of urgency and chaos. This illustration offers a unique glimpse into the early colonial history of Australia, providing valuable insight into the interactions between the indigenous population and the European settlers. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the scene to life, making it a must-have for any collection focusing on the history of Australasia during the 18th century. Governor Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales, is also believed to be present in the drawing, although not explicitly shown. The drawing serves as a testament to the rich and complex history of the region, and is a fascinating reminder of the events that shaped the early days of Australia's settlement.
