EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Port Adelaide from South Australia Illustrated" takes us back to the year 1847, offering a glimpse into the bustling maritime scene of that era. The hand-coloured engraving, skillfully created by George French Angas, showcases his remarkable talent in capturing the essence of this Australian port town. In this image, we are transported to a time when ships dominated the horizon and sails billowed against the clear blue sky. The harbor is alive with activity as cargo-laden vessels navigate through calm waters towards their designated warehouses. The rigging on these majestic ships stands tall and proud, reflecting both their strength and elegance. The attention to detail in this engraving allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of these vessels but also provides insight into Port Adelaide's significance as an immigration hub during that period. It serves as a reminder of how ports like this played a vital role in shaping Australia's history by facilitating trade and welcoming new settlers from distant lands. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection - a private collection that preserves historical artworks for future generations.
