A copy of a Burton Brothers original. The date can be no later than 1885, as it was in that year that St Paul's Anglican church on Point Britomart (seen here in the background) was demolished so that Point Britomart could be levelled to create flat land beside the harbour. An 1883 photograph of St Paul's taken from Princes Street is here.
