Description	Important and impressive panorama of Sydney from the official account of the Baudin expedition. Taken from eastern side of Circular Quay and looking westwards to the Rocks.

The French Admiralty, although sending Baudin's expedition under the 'flag of truce' with the sole aim of perfecting the sciences' had a political and statagic interest in the British settlement in New South Wales.
