EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Captain Philip Gidley King, a distinguished British naval officer and the third Governor of New South Wales. The portrait, created in 1886 by WA Hirschmann, captures the essence of this influential figure who served as Governor from 1800 to 1806. In this wood engraving from the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, Vol I, illustrated under the supervision of Frederic B Schell, we see Captain King's commanding presence and dignified demeanor. His strong features reflect his leadership qualities and his dedication to serving the British Empire. Born in Cornwall in 1758, Captain Philip Gidley King played a crucial role in shaping colonial Australia during the early nineteenth century. This image transports us back to that era when he governed New South Wales with wisdom and determination. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this historical portrayal. It reminds us of the challenges faced by naval officers like Captain King during times of war and naval warfare. As we admire this remarkable print captured by Andrew Garran for posterity, we are reminded not only of Captain Philip Gidley King's significant contributions but also how art can preserve history for generations to come.
