Go Back

After Joseph Lycett (1774–1828).

Ansicht De Hauptstadt Von Neu-Sud-Wales Von Der Nordseite [View Of The Capital Of NSW From The North Side]

c1840s. Hand-coloured lithograph, title and lithographer “H. Mayinte” (name in reverse) below image, 13.5 x 23cm. Replaced and redrawn upper and left margins, old folds, with one fold pronounced through centre of image.

Lycett first issued this view of Sydney as a lithograph in 1824 but was not satisfied with the result. In 1825 Lycett reissued it as an aquatint with minor changes to the image. This lithograph, which is extremely uncommon, is an 1830s to 1840s German version of that aquatint. The State Library of NSW holds the 1824 and 1825 images. To date, no Australian institution holds the German lithograph.
