Peter Emmett Sydney: metroplis, suburb, harbour Glebe, Historic Houses Trust of NSW, 2000, p. 33. Emmet says of this picture: "This dramatic scene ... focuses its bird's-eye view on St Andrew's Cathedral and the Town Hall as the centre of a city of the new industrial age. This could be Birmingham where Fullwood studied in his youth". Peter Freeman Hong Kong House, Sydney Sydney, Watermark Press, 2012, p. 43 [detail only].
