HEXT, (Capt. Charles Staniforth).

TR21857

Sepia tinted lithograph. 136 by 240mm. Mounted. Liverpool, C. Hutchins, c.1845 - 1850


Another image from the same series. Hext notes on a different view of Eagle Hawk Neck that it "joins Tasman's Peninsular [sic] to the main land of Van Diemen's Land. There is at this place, a chain of dogs, which are so savage, that should any convict escape from the penal settlement of Port Arthur, it is impossible for them to pass into the Colony"! Ferguson, 1661a.

 Date: 1850
