“The view is taken from the north shore of Port Jackson, looking across the Parramatta River and up Long Cove. The principle object in the centre of the picture being Cockatoo Island, appropriated as the site of a dry dock, now in the course of formation …. The general character of the inlets of this magnificent harbour is to be broken by small and picturesque islands, of which this is a striking example.” Description from an unpublished manuscript for AW Scott, ’Australian Lepidoptera and their Transformations’ (1864-1898).
