Description

Several paintings of Melbourne for William Hull who intended sending them to England. The description matches a set of six small oils, owned and inscribed in 1850 by William Hull’s son Henry Notley. The paintings, five of which are on mattress-ticking, include views of Flagstaff Hill, the Queen’s Wharf and breakwater, a Gothic Revival cottage in a rural setting (possibly the Hull’s own home) and the Treasury 'with Native Troopers’.
