Saint Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney, N.S.W.

Very rare engraving of St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney. The National Gallery of Australia’s information for this item suggests, “The very wide margins on this impression suggest that it is a proof impression.” As our example has very wide margins also, its more than likely that the few impressions printed were all with wide margins.
