• General note
  
  Attributed to Mrs A. Prinsep because a photograph of this painting, or a similar one, is in JW Beattie's "Historical Photographs relating to Tasmania", 1912 (ML F986/B, p. 19), with caption "Sullivans Cove Hobart Town, 1829. Copied from a sketch by Mrs A. Prinsep, of Calcutta". It is not clear whether this means that the oil photographed is copied from a sketch by Mrs A. Prinsep, or whether the oil is referred to as a sketch and the word copied means photgraphed, as it does in captions to other photographs. Source: ML Pictures Card Catalogue
