EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Plan of Sydney with Pyrmont, New South Wales" from 1836, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and development. Published by James & Luke G. Hansard & Sons in London in 1837, this hand-coloured lithograph provides a detailed layout of Sydney and its surrounding areas. The plan highlights Pyrmont as the property of Edward Macarthure Esquire, meticulously divided into allotments for building purposes. It is fascinating to observe how land reclamation from the sea has played a significant role in shaping this vibrant urban landscape. With its intricate engravings and meticulous attention to detail, this map serves as a testament to the early stages of urban regeneration and planning that took place in Sydney during this era. The black wattle bay and Darling Harbour are prominently featured, showcasing their importance as key elements within the city's growth. As we delve into this historical artifact, it becomes evident that property development was already an integral part of Sydney's story even back then. This engraving not only offers valuable insights into Australia's past but also serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this print captures our imagination with its exquisite craftsmanship while inviting us to reflect on the continuous transformation of urban landscapes throughout history.
