Melbourne from the south bank of the Yarra, 1840, Eleanor (Nellie) McGlinn, c 1875, oil on canvas.
This work, based on a sketch made by George Henry Haydon in 1840, shows Melbourne from the south bank of the Yarra, looking across from the turning basin. The distinctive roof line of John Pascoe Fawkner’s hotel can be seen on the hill at the corner of Collins and Market.
