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.

Description: Shows a long view down Lake Rotoroa (probably looking south), with Heaphy, Fox, Brunner and Kehu in a rowboat with their baggage, near the start of their exploratory journey of 1846. They are shown in the left foreground of the picture. In the far distance is a range of rocky mountains, and to the right of the lake are stands of tall trees and smaller bush. One of the hillsides facing the lake has experienced a landslide which has cleared it. The watercolour has been made on two pages now stuck together, and have been taken from the artist's sketchbook of the exploratory trip. Unlike the other views, it was not sent to England for use by Fox's employers, the New Zealand Company. Fox "discovered" and named Lake Howick, which later reverted to its Maori name, Rotoroa. Exhibited in 'Picturing Paradise; the colonial watercolours of William Fox', Exhibition at National Library Gallery 25 February - 18 June 2000; Hocken Library, Dunedin, 11 September - 15 October 2000.

Provenance: The artist originally gave the work to Mary Pitts Tucker, the wife of his secretary William Robert Edward Brown, and it has descended through their son Charles Walter Pitts-Brown through the family to Mr Brian Pitts-Brown of Waikato. The Peter McLeavey Gallery sold it on behalf of Mr Pitts-Brown.

Description: Shows a view looking into an inlet, with Arrow Rock on the right. There is a large house high on the cliff at the left, a jetty in the left foreground, a small rowboat in the centre foreground, and a red buoy at the right.

June 2001) Other Titles - Mr Hoggard's house on "The Cliff", by Major Heaphy Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - W H L 1867; Backing board recto - centre - Mr Hoggard's house on "The Cliff" 1867, by Major Heaphy Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
