This is a sepia-toned black-and-white photograph measuring 8.8 cm x 13.6 cm, taken from an elevated vantage point behind a cottage in the township of Port Arthur, looking across Manson Cove with its wooden wharves to Settlement Hill. It shows the Port Arthur Penitentiary (the large building in the centre of the image), with the Commissariat Stores on the waterfront on the left. Text at the base of the photograph reads 'PORT ARTHUR, DURING OCCUPATION, A.D. 1860, 214, BEATTIE, HOBART'.
