Hobart Town, the capital of Tasmania.

A$300 · Offered by Douglas Stewart Fine Books

[Title from printed caption below image]. Wood-engraved panorama, 195 x 550 mm (sheet); no engraver s details; central vertical fold with light foxing, else very good. This engraved view was removed (by a previous owner) from a copy of the April 4 1868 edition of the Illustrated London News , in which the panorama was one of the illustrations that accompanied a report on the Duke of Edinburgh s Tasmanian visit. The same original double-page contained another engraving (of identical dimensions), Regatta at Hobart Town, Tasmania, in honour of the visit of H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh . Both prints, on the same sheet, are held in the National Library of Australia (Rex Nan Kivell Collection, NK11760/55 and NK11760/56). Hobart Town, the capital of Tasmania appears to be after a two-part panorama of Hobart from Lime Kiln Hill taken by photographer Samuel Clifford, titled Hobart Town from the North West (National Archives, UK).
