- Description
View looking down Princes Street towards Emily Place, with St Paul's church at the foot of the street, the harbour beyond. The first building on the left is Woods Royal Hotel, during its occupancy by Major-General Pitt of the 58th Regiment, with a sentry-box outside. The building next-door, with the striped blinds draped over the balcony was the Royal Masonic Hotel and beyond that was the Union Bank of Australia, with flag fluttering in front.
There are two other very similar views to this by Cuthbert Clarke (1850 - a pencil and crayon drawing in the National Library of Australia) and by Colonel Wynyard, a wash drawing in a private collection, 1849.
G. C. Mundy in his 'Our Antipodes' (London, 1852), p. 74, writes about this street and its occupancy by Major-General Pitt.
