Hoddle, Robert (1794-1881; English/Australian)
Racecourse and Survey Office (1840)
Watercolour, 20 x 31.6 cm.
Purchased, 1893
State Library of Victoria (H259)

This example is more obviously a watercolour than the other works by Hoddle acquired in 1893 (combining pencil and wash): see e.g. Hoddle Melbourne from Surveyor-General’s Yard {1893} SLV [WT].
