Informationrussellr50: The original is in the collection of the Mitchell Library in Sydney, in an album of watercolours and sketches previously owned by Robert Marsh Westmacott [PXA 1760]. The caption on the album page is Entrance to Hunters River Newcastle NSW. Mitchell library catalogue page from catalogue: The Marten's signatures differ from others by Martens and the style of the sketches is unlike Martens (compared with pencil sketches at PX*D 307). The sketches were attributed to Westmacott by Bernard Smith who considered them similar to those in a volume in the Nan Kivell collection. The writing and style are also similar to some held in the Dixson Library.SubjectAustralian Agricultural CompanyThis image can be used for study and personal research purposes.
