  Inscription on frame reads 'Old Sydney Clyde Street Syd Long. Presented by the Government of N.S.W. per the Hon. E.W. O'Sullivan, M.P. Minister for Works'. The painting was purchased in 1902 by the NSW Government for the Art Gallery; it was transferred to the Library in 1920.
  "Clyde Street is no longer on the city map. Built in the 1830s, it ran south-west to Darling Harbour from near the current intersection of Argyle Place and Kent Street, Millers Point. Predominantly residential, it was part of a densely populated neighbourhood where even dilapidated houses were in great demand due to their proximity to work at the Darling Harbour wharves and goods yards. After the outbreak of bubonic plague in 1900, it was among the streets selected for cleansing operations and was subsequently resumed and demolished by the Sydney Harbour Trust in 1901."
