View of Geelong

by Edward Snell

After migrating to Australia from England and working on the goldfields Snell settled in Geelong. Soon after arriving in Geelong, he painted this scene of the emerging city. He made his fortune as an engineer for the Geelong and Melbourne Railway. This painting was presented to Geelong Council in 1941. Photo courtesy Geelong Heritage Centre.
