Description: View from the Sumner Road looking towards the township, with the hills on the right, the port on the left. A large part of central Lyttelton is in flames, with smoke billowing out towards the port. Probably a night-time scene, since the nearer buildings have the light of the flames reflecting off their sides. Reproduced as a wood engraving, Illustrated London news, Vol 58, Jan-Jun 1871, p. 20. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 9 x 13 in Provenance: Possibly from the collection of Alexander Turnbull; or from the collection of Sir Joseph Kinsey.
