Caption	"Pastoral image of the city. In contrast to near contemporary views there is no reference to industrial activity at all with much of the city screened by foreground trees. (see 30460) 'Smith' may be G. Smith who produced several views of the city in partnership with J. Swan in 1822. A number of these share the non-industrial depiction of the city. See 30317."
