Production notes

Note from State Library of New South Wales catalogue: No artist or engraver's names are given. It is possibly engraved from the view by J. Eyre after which P. Slaeger engraved "A North East view" and "An Easterly view of Sydney 1812" (Ref : Eyre, J.). It also seems to have been used for Absalom West's views, plates 3 and 4 (Ref : Eyre, J., "View of part of Sydney 1812"). It could also be based on the engravings themselves.
