[View of Sydney in New South Wales (Taken from Bell Mount).]
[after John Eyre.]
[Published 12th April 1814 by James Whittle & Rich.d Holmes Laurie, No. 53 Fleet Street, London.]
Coloured engraving. 250 x 355mm (9¾ x 14"). Trimmed into image, losing title and inscriptions, tears taped, stain in sky.
A distant view of Sydney just over 25 years after its foundation, with the Blue Mountains in the far distance. It is presumed to be based on a watercolour by John Eyre, a convict who was transported to Australia in 1801. Conditionally pardoned in 1804, he spent several years painting in the area before leaving Australia as a free man in 1812, probably returning to London, where this plate was published.
