"Founding of the settlement of Port Jackson at Botany Bay in New South Wales" is an engraving by Thomas Gosse that depicts the establishment of the first European settlement in Australia. Created in the late 18th century, this work of art captures a pivotal moment in Australian history: the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson, which would later become the city of Sydney. The engraving is based on earlier sketches and accounts from those present at the founding of the settlement in 1788.

The scene in Gosse's engraving is rich with historical detail, showing the British ships anchored in the harbor, the marines and convicts beginning to clear the land, and the indigenous Eora people observing the newcomers. This image serves as a visual record of the beginning of European colonization in Australia, reflecting the European perspective of the era. It is a work of both artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the early interactions between the British settlers and the Aboriginal Australians, as well as the environmental and cultural changes that would follow.

Thomas Gosse's engraving is an important document for understanding the colonial history of Australia and the impact of European settlement on the continent's indigenous populations. It is a work that continues to be studied and discussed for its portrayal of the complex and often contentious beginnings of modern Australia.
