I saw this image at an exhibition last year on Mathew Flinders. I was very impressed. I'd never seen the southern coast from the sea. I'd walked along the cliffs and stood looking out to the southern ocean; I'd seen them from the air; and I'd driven along parts of them.
The topographical images looked so modern. That is what struck me at the exhibition.
W.Westall Views on the South Coast of Australia 18011802
Just over a hundered years latter we get this:
Frank Hurley Atlas Cove Antarctic Research Expedition 19291931
Both images are from National Library of Australia's Travellers Art.
