Description: View looking down onto Lyttelton Harbour in September 1850, with a family in the foreground shaking hands with the builder of a house, and other new immigrants making their way up the Lyttelton side of the Bridle Path. Washing on a line to the right, tents and houses, with Mr Godley's house and emigration barracks marked, along with Sumner Road to Lyttelton. The first four immigrant ships to Canterbury are also shown in the harbour, the Charlotte Jane on the left, the Randolph, the Cressy (with sails unfurled) and the Sir George Seymour. Small boats are making their way with passengers from the Cressy to the wharf. The accompanying descriptive text reads: This sketch represents Port Lyttelton from a different and much nearer point of view, showing more distinctly the nature of the buildings which had been erected before the arrival of any colonists, and of the sort of places which the first passengers put up for temporary shelter immediately after their arrival. In this View, the shore of Victoria Harbour, opposite to Port Lyttelton, is represented; and the way of exit from the harbour is indicated. The passengers from the Cressy landed eleven days after those by the Charlotte Jane, Sir George Seymour and Randolph; the three last-named ships having sailed from England on the same day and entered Victoria Harbour on the same day, after a prosperous voyage of ninety-seven days. They have at the present time (July, 1851) been succeeded by thirteen large ships, making seventeen in all since last September. Probably based on an ink drawing by William Fox, located at A-195-015. A watercolour version is also held by the Hocken Library. Quantity: 1 b&w art print(s). Physical Description: Tinted etching, black and white, 166 x 276 mm
