"Marked Rock, Port Albany, Albany Island" is a historical artwork created by the English artist and explorer Thomas Baines during the 1855 Australian expedition of the schooner Tom Tough. Thomas Baines, known for his detailed landscapes and records of colonial expeditions, was part of this journey that aimed to explore and chart parts of the Australian coast. The artwork captures a scene at Port Albany on Albany Island, which is situated near the tip of Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia.

The painting is significant as it not only represents the natural beauty and geographical features of the location but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the exploration and mapping of Australia during the mid-19th century. Baines's role as both an artist and an observer allowed him to create works that were both aesthetically pleasing and valuable for their ethnographic and topographic content.

"Marked Rock" is particularly notable for its depiction of a rock that was marked by the expedition, a common practice of the time to indicate the presence or passage of explorers. This mark would have served as a navigational aid for those who followed and as a claim of discovery. The artwork, therefore, embodies the intersection of art, exploration, and colonial expansion during the Victorian era.

As an artist, Thomas Baines is recognized for his contributions to the visual record of colonial expeditions in Australia, Southern Africa, and other parts of the British Empire. His works are held in various collections and are studied for their historical value and artistic merit. "Marked Rock, Port Albany, Albany Island" remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Baines's work, reflecting the spirit of exploration and the detailed observation that characterizes much of his art.
