| Description: |
Late 19th century reproduction of Charles Grimes's 1796 New South Wales settlement plan of the area around Sydney, as frontispiece to the above publication.
This plan was in very poor condition, with splits to the folds and foxing in parts. To make this a more useable and pleasant research item it has been necessary to digitally repair this map for display.
