John Eyre: (print after) 'Port Jackson Harbour NSW' 1812

TLF ID M020075

This panoramic view of Port Jackson shows the fledgling European settlement taking shape. Part of a set of 12, this print was drawn by convict artist John Eyre who was transported for breaking and entering. The intended clientele included local trading ships and members of the British military and naval forces. The series was dedicated to Governor Macquarie. Can you see the Blue Mountains in the background?
