EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panorama, captured circa 1822, offers a glimpse into the early days of Sydney as seen from Observatory Hill. To the left, the view takes us towards The Heads and the bustling harbor, with a carriage and four and a few sheep grazing in the open space that once formed the grounds of Government House. The stately building on the right hand side of the image is the Military Hospital, now a part of Fort Street School. The windmill on the extreme right marks the site of the Grosvenor Hotel. The row of tall buildings on the horizon is the General Hospital in Macquarie Street. Above Government House, we can see the stables of the new Government House, which now houses the Conservatorium of Music. This panorama, drawn by Major James Taylor in 1822, provides a unique perspective of Sydney's early history, showcasing its natural beauty and the emerging urban landscape. This image is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a glimpse into the past and providing valuable insights into the evolution of Sydney over the centuries. The panorama invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of colonial Sydney, transporting us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages, military hospitals, and open fields.
