Reference: PUBL-0078-003
Description: A cartoon showing a Canterbury squatter on the back of a mule labelled Public Works. The squatter is urging on the mule with carrots marked 'wethers 30 [shillings]', 'profit' and 'surplus stock'. The mule carries panniers filled with 'Dobson's report' and 'Browning's report'. Behind the mule is an old woman representing the Standard newspaper. The mule is kicking her over. The setting is a mountainous scene with a signpost pointing to Arthur's Pass in one direction and to Browning's Pass in the other. Refers to agitation in Christchurch to improve access to the gold-rush in Westland to allow a market for suplus stock and to enable trading between the west and east coasts. The reference to 'Dobson's report' is to Arthur Dudley Dobson's report on the feasibility of using Arthur's Pass to travel between Canterbury and Westland. 'Browning's report' is to John Browning's similar report about Browning's Pass. The latter, higher and further south, was not developed. Published in Making New Zealand, Vol 1, no. 3, p. 24, Navigators and explorers; and Vol 1 no. 7, p. 9. The squatters. (1940) Quantity: 1 b&w art print(s). Physical Description: Wood engraving
