Wheeler and son album 2
Date: [Circa 1870s to 1880s]
By: Edmund Wheeler & Son (Firm)
Reference: PA1-o-533
Description: New Zealand views taken circa 1870s to 1880s by E Wheeler & Son. Scenes include both North Island and South Island views, and all places named are listed above, as are businesses, ships and buildings, where possible. Items of interest include a photograph of trout taken by the Upper Selwyn River "A good day's sport. 38 fish, with the fly, 2 rods" with two large baskets alongside. Two scenes show different means of transport across rivers where there are no bridges. One is the "Cage bridge" (or Flying Fox) across the Teremakau (Taramakau) River, and the other shows a ferry punt across the Buller River. A number of views show farming activities, including a scene near Cheviot of about 20,000 sheep being drafted for shearing; and one of a wagon laden with wool bales being hauled by a team of bullocks. A view of gold sluicing is shown in this album with the locality indistinct. The same view is shown in the first Wheeler Album (PA1-o-532) in which the locality is named as Waimea.

[Evans, Frederick John Owen] 1815-1885 :[H M S Acheron in Milford Sound ca 11th March 1...
Date: 1851
By: Evans, Frederick John Owen (Sir), 1815-1885; Samson, Marjorie, -1961
Reference: D-008-002
Description: Panoramic view of Milford Sound with survey ship H. M. S. Acheron on the far right, near Bowen Falls, and a group of Maori on the foreshore. Has previously been attributed to W. J. W. Hamilton and to John Lort Stokes. However comparison with the style of watercolours known to be by Evans held in the National Maritime Museum (Greenwich) and the Hydrographer of the Navy (Taunton) strongly suggest an attribution to Evans. Reproduced in 1983 as one of the Turnbull Library Prints. The painting was not at that stage attributed to Evans and was published as 'Artist unknown'. The group of Maori are likely to have been introduced by the artist to give scale and human interest. There is no mention in the accounts of the Acheron's visit to Milford Sound of any Maori presence. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour 354 x 883 mm Provenance: Admiral John Lort Stokes (then Captain) surveyed the New Zealand coasts in HMS Acheron during 1849-51.
