• General note
  
  Dated from year Penman and Galbraith began operating in Adelaide to the time the firm moved to Freeman Street in 1856 - it has not proved possible to identify during which years the firm operated from Pirie Street, but from 1856 onwards it is listed (Adelaide City & Port Commercial Directory and Almanac, 1856) firstly in Freeman Street, and then Rundle Street till 1874 when it moved to Currie Street. In 1880 the firm relocated for the last time to Gresham Street.
  
  Attributed to Hamilton after comparison with signed drawings by him cf. "Overlanders attacking the natives" V/89
