General notes

This is one of 60 coloured lithographs found in the 1847 edition of 'South Australia Illustrated' by colonial artist George French Angas, together with a descriptive passage for each. The lithograph was created by J.W. Giles from Angas' original painting, which is very likely to have been copied from a earlier original by S.T. Gill. These three works are typical of the many water-colours of urban scenes which S.T. Gill produced in Adelaide in the 1840s. The date assigned is assumed to be approximately when the lithographs were created; the original paintings were done in earlier years.
