Series notes:
These coloured drawings, by Henry Laing, a convict draftsman who was transported on the Thames in 1829, consist of block plans, plans, elevations and sections and purport to include all those buildings existing on the Peninsula in 1836: at Port Arthur itself, Point Puer, Eaglehawk Neck, Coal Point, Slopen Main, Norfolk Bay. Some buildings were proposed only, or only partly completed, and many no longer exist.
