Scope and Contents
Contents
“In present day terms, the view is from halfway up Wycombe Road, Neutral Bay, looking towards the city. The white building centre, is Government house, with city buildings above it. The handling of the trees and use of pigments is similar to the 1852 views from Wotonga” -- Conrad Martens: life and art / Elizabeth Ellis, 1994, p.173
