• Scope and Content
  This is a lithograph created by Augustus Earle (1793-1838) and printed by C Hullmandel, London, in 1830. It shows a group of Indigenous Australians in a Sydney street in 1830. Most members of this group are wearing ragged remnants of European clothing or simply material wraps, while one wears a military coat. There are some empty 'grog' bottles on the ground. Behind this group is a two-storey hotel with a kangaroo sign. Another sign on the side of the building reads 'George Street'. A number of fashionably dressed British settlers are promenading down the street or standing near the hotel. Beyond a few other buildings in the background, a tiny glimpse of Sydney Harbour can be seen, with the masts and rigging of some sailing ships visible.
