Notes
General note
The view of Pyrmont Bridge from St. Phillips Church shows the Angel of Knowledge on the eastern gable of the Great hall of The University of Sydney. As this statue was removed in 1874, this gives the latest date for that image. The panorama of Sydney from St Leonards shows the tower of the Town Hall, which was completed in 1875.
