I am looking for information on the neoclassical buildings inscribed on a
pair of whales teeth. Does anyone know what the buildings are on the
attached images?
The whales teeth also have 'Emu' '1850' and 'TB' inscribed on them. 'Emu'
was a Tasmanian barque of 380 tons. It was ordered by Thomas Brown ("TB")
a Hobart Town merchant. Designed by Degraves and built by John Gray in
Hobart Town. Launched March 8 1848.
The buildings are not from Tasmania. The vessel made one trip to London so
the buildings may well be from there.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
Peta
