Saint Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney, …

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.
