• Date note
  
  No date. Tentatively dated ca. 1875 from comparison of buildings shown (eg. possibly St John's, Darlinghurst and Craigend Windmill) with other works in the collection. For comparison see SPF/SYDNEY - HARBOUR AND ISLANDS - WOOLOOMOOLOO BAY, ca. 1872? [photograph]; SYDNEY - HARBOUR AND ISLANDS - WOOLOOMOOLOO BAY, ca. 1864 [extract from Illustrated Sydney News, Oct. 15, 1864, showing an engraving, reproduced in Fox, Len, 'Old Sydney Windmills', Potts Point, pub. by the author, 1978, p. 54]; Herman, Morton, 'The Architecture of Victorian Sydney', Sydney, A & R, 1956, p. 44, 55; Selfe, Norman, in 'Some notes on old Sydney Windmills', AHSJ, pt. VI, 1902-3, p. 103-104; Bertie, Charles H., 'Stories of old Sydney', A & R, 1912, p. [27]-45. Identification of buildings shown is tentative because of their details and proportions and because of extensive restoration of the oil painting.
