Summary

Lithographic print depicting the settlement at Escape Cliffs in the Northern Territory. B.T.Finniss led an expedition which arrived there in 1864. Printed text beneath the image reads 'Escape Cliffs, Northern Territory', while the number '17' is written in the top right corner. Includes a photograph of the same image although believed to be a proof print, with the words 'Printed by W.Newport, Adelaide', a lithographer who worked in SA in the 1860s, beneath the image. The print depicts a scene set above low cliffs. A campsite of tents and some huts have been set under the trees. A few people can be seen walking around the campsite. Two pandanus trees lying at an angle can be seen in the foreground.
