I sometimes trawl the auction websites for old pictures of Paddington as you never know what will pop up. Here is a great view of Cambridge Street by Essie Nangle. It is titled "Paddington Variations" and certainly shows the differing architectural styles of the east side of Cambridge Street between Westbury and Langlo. There is no date on it and there isn't much biographical detail available on Essie. She does have a couple of works in the State Library, they are views of Kings Cross from 1969 so I'd guess this is from somewhere around then. This work sold at Bay East auctions in November 2009 for $120. Not a bad buy and certainly one I would make if my house featured.
