New Norfolk - two fabulous centuries (2)


THIS wonderful view of New Norfolk dates from 1829/30 and comes from the State Library of Tasmania's online collection. It was first published in London in 1833 by Smith, Elder & Co.among the illustrations in the book The Journal of a Voyage from Calcutta to Van Diemen's Land.  The image was drawn on stone by John Ommanney from a sketch by Mrs.A.Prinsep.
