• General note
  
  On the reverse of the sketch is a note, (possibly in Sir William Dixson's hand), that elaborates on the context of this drawing; "Sketch made at Kennedy's first Camp, Rockingham Bay / with a note in Kennedy's handwriting in the right hand corner / For account of his Expedition & death by the natives / See McGillivaray's Narrative of the Voyage of H.M.S. / Rattlesnake p. 82 / The figures are Captain Owen Stanley & Kennedy"
  Towards each corner of the drawing are two slits in the paper (8 in total), that suggests something was mounted onto the reverse of image.

  Signed at lower right of image, "O.W. Brierly".
