rif. 14757Three plates engraved by Robert Havell and son printed by Edward Egerton-Williams in colours and finished by hand each with printer's blindstamp. From an edition limited to 110 copies printed from the original printing plates in 1988 employing the same techniques as used in 1823. This fine edition was published as a collaborative effort between the State Library of New South Wales and the renowned fine art publishers Alecto Editions. "By 1820 Sydney was a town of 12000 inhabitants about a third of whom were convicts. It had grown dramatically during the administration of Lachlan Macquarie who was appointed governor of New South Wales in 1810. Unlike previous governors Macquarie was not content merely to oversee a penal colony. His vigorous building programme changed forever the appearance of Sydney while his policy of accepting emancipated convicts as respected citizens demonstrated a social attitude strangely out of step with the times. Both these policies earned him criticism. In 1819 alarmed by Macquarie's extravagant public works the British Government commissioned a lawyer and civil servant J.T.Bigge to investigate. The attacks by his critics were met head on by Macquarrie's supporters in New South Wales. Books pamphlets and paintings luded the governor's undoubted achievements.
