Large photo-lithograph of Watson’s Bay as it was in the late 1880’s with excellent detail. From the series of views which were the amongst the first examples of this new printing technique of photo lithography.

Adam Stephan ( - )
Adam Stephan was a lithographer and Samuel Phillip was a photographer who began working on their new process of photo lithography in 1884, and by late 1887 had formed a company in Sydney. A Melbourne company was established in June 1889 and a Brisbane branch was also contemplated in that year.
