Photo-lithograph in green ink on wove paper, 125 x 222 mm (image); 185 x 265 mm (sheet), edge tears to margins, else very good.

Lithograph by an unknown artist after an etching of Adelaide first published in Nixon’s Views on Adelaide and its Vicinity (1845), the first South Australian view book.

Little is known of these 1880s lithographic facsimiles, however another example is held in the National Gallery of Australia (NGA 2011.1196).
