 Unlike the Library punchbowl , the Sydney Cove image on the Museum punchbowl is not known in its entirety in any other version so it is assumed that the original artwork provided by the commissioner to the ceramic artists in China has been lost . The only similar Sydney Cove view of the period is an original watercolour by convict artist Joseph Lycett , which first appeared in an engraved version as page 86 in Views in New South Wales , 1813 – 1814 [ and ] An Historical Account of the Colony of NSW , 1820 – 1821 ( Sydney , 1819 ) by soldier , James Wallis . A second engraved version appeared on page 74 of a similar folio edition Album of original drawings by Captain James Wallis and Joseph Lycett , ca 1817 – 1818 etc by publisher Rudolph Ackermann in London , 1821 . However , the Dawes Point fortifications — designed by the convict architect Francis Greenway — and its gun emplacements , dominate the foreground of both engravings . The Museum punchbowl view pre @-@ dates this as it has , instead , a grassy slope and figures of an Aboriginal man and woman in the equivalent location . The Lycett version has other major differences , including a less extensive vista of the eastern side of the Harbour .
