Attributions / Conjectures
The view of King William Street has a signature of 'ELM'. This could be E.L. Montefiore who was a merchant in that street ca. 1846-9, see covering card under Montefiore.
An examination of sketchbook in Mitchell Library attributed to him did not prove conclusive, see also notes by K.T Borrow, 1953, at A4002, p.3
