Hobart Town ‘Balloon’s Eye’ Sketch Print

The Hobart Town ‘Balloon’s Eye’ Sketch Print was a reproduction from a wood-engraving, published in the Australasian Sketcher, 10th May 1879.

Such ‘Balloon’s Eye’ views were at the time a popular means of conveying the development and extent of the capital cities of Australia.  A.C. Cooke, from whose drawing this picture was engraved, drew prolifically for the illustrated newspapers.

This quality print has been reproduced on a textured card and it highly suited for framing.
