View of Botany Bay in New South Wales / engraved from a drawing made on the spot.
London: Alex Hogg, 1794/95. An unusual view with natives in a canoe in the foreground and 7 ships, five at anchor behind. Botany Bay looks well vegetated with bush, trees and palms making it hard to believe that it is an accurate depiction of the original, on the spot drawing.
