EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic drawing, titled "Views of Lord Howe Island, discovered by Lieut. Ball. February 1788" by George Raper, offers a breathtaking glimpse into the natural beauty of Lord Howe Island as it appeared during the late 18th century. The illustration, created between the years 1768 and 1797, showcases the island's rugged, jagged terrain and towering mountains, surrounded by clear blue waters and fluffy white clouds. Lieutenant Ball, a British naval officer, is credited with the discovery of Lord Howe Island in 1788, and it is believed that Raper's drawings were created based on his observations during this time. The three distinct views presented in this illustration offer an outside perspective of the island, providing a comprehensive representation of its geomorphology and unique landforms. The daytime scene depicted in the drawing highlights the island's rocky coastline, with crashing waves against the shoreline, and the lush greenery of the interior, contrasting against the clear blue sky. The intricate details in the drawing, from the individual trees to the ripples in the water, showcase Raper's exceptional skill as an illustrator. This stunning work of art and illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural beauty and discovery of Lord Howe Island during the 18th century. The illustration is a testament to Raper's talent and the enduring allure of the natural world.
