EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a breathtaking view of Sydney, Australia, as it looked around 1813. The scene is captured from the vantage point of Grosvenor Street, with George Street intersecting at a right angle in front of the elegant white buildings with five windows on their upper floors. The building opposite Grosvenor Street is the Orphan School, and the one next to it is the residence of Mr. James Underwood. In the foreground, to the right, lies the house and garden of the Lieutenant Governor. Bridge Street ascends the hill on the other side, culminating at Government House. The residences and offices of government officers are located on the right below Bridge Street. The large building on the left of Bridge Street is the residence and storerooms of Mr. Simeon Lord, situated in Macquarie Place. This unattributed artwork, from the March of the Women Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of colonial Sydney. The print, believed to have been created circa 1921, offers a unique perspective of Sydney's early history, showcasing its architectural charm and the layout of its streets. The meticulous details in the print, from the individual windows to the lush gardens, provide a fascinating glimpse into Sydney's past.
