EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable Sir Thomas Brisbane, a man of many talents and accomplishments. Born in 1773, Brisbane served as Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825, leaving a lasting impact on the region. The capital city of Queensland was later named after him, showcasing his significant influence. In this wood engraving from the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, we see Sir Thomas Brisbane portrayed with great dignity and authority. Dressed in his military uniform, he exudes strength and determination. His Scottish heritage is evident through his proud demeanor. Not only was Brisbane a soldier and colonial governor, but he was also an accomplished astronomer. His passion for astronomy led him to establish an observatory near Parramatta in Australia during his time as governor. This dedication to science further highlights his multifaceted nature. The artist behind this stunning portrait is W Macleod, who skillfully captured every detail of Sir Thomas Brisbane's likeness. Published in 1886 under the supervision of Frederic B Schell and illustrated by Andrew Garran for the Picturesque Atlas Publishing Co. , this print stands as a testament to both historical significance and artistic talent. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Sir Thomas Brisbane's contributions to British imperialism while appreciating the beauty that can be found within monochrome photography from the nineteenth century.
