General notes

The State Library holds two sets of Duryea's original prints of this panorama.

It is understood that the original glass plate negatives of these photographs have not survived. It is likely that they were lost in the fire that destroyed Duryea's studio in 1875.

A panoramic view combining prints 4 and 5 is located in OUTSIZE 5c.
