Garden Island, an inner-city locality of Sydney since joined to the mainland, and used for government and naval purposes since the first days of British settlement. From 'The History of New South Wales [...]' supposedly by the famous pickpocket George Barrington (first published 1802), although there is no evidence of his involvement with the book, and London publishers used his name without scruples. As Tim McCormick shows, the views and text in the book were plagiarised from various sources. This engraving does not relate to any other known views but uit and the other views of the book 'are of interest because they illustrate how the already complex process of converting an original field drawing to a published book illustration can be still further extended by an illicit traffic in images'.

Published Dec. 24. 1803, by M.Jones Paternoster Row.
Hand-coloured stipple, sheet 125 x 210mm (4¾ x 8¼"). Cut to platemark.
Early view of Sydney, from 'The History of New South Wales [...]' supposedly by the famous pickpocket George Barrington (first published 1802), although there is no evidence of his involvement with the book, and London publishers used his name without scruples. This view, as McCormick notes, is a mirror-image of an engraving published in David Collins' 'An Account of the English Colony' (London, 1798), itself after a watercolour by Edward Dayes. The source has been augmented with the addition of an Aboriginal Australian aiming a spear at a British settler, drawing parallels with violence against settlers often depicted in prints such as those documenting Cook's voyages.

Hand-coloured stipple, sheet 125 x 210mm (4¾ x 8¼"). Small margins. Staining.
Early view of Sydney. A rough reworking of a 1796 engraving (itself based on a watercolour by Edward Dayes) which represents a team of Cape bullocks toiling up Brickfield Hill, George Street near present-day Central Railway Station. Here the cattle have been retained but the landscape is flatter and less detailed. From 'The History of New South Wales [...]' supposedly by the famous pickpocket George Barrington (first published 1802), although there is no evidence of his involvement with the book, and London publishers used his name without scruples.

Published by M. Jones Paternoster Row March 18. 1803
Hand-coloured stipple, sheet 125 x 210mm (4¾ x 8¼"). Slight staining to edges. Cut to plate at bottom.
Early view of Sydney, from 'The History of New South Wales [...]' supposedly by the famous pickpocket George Barrington (first published 1802), although there is no evidence of his involvement with the book, and London publishers used his name without scruples. As Tim McCormick shows, the views and text in the book were plagiarised from various sources. This engraving does not relate to any other known views. McCormick states of this view that it appears to show the Clock Tower (completed 1797) and a view across Bennelong Point and the Cove.
