In the middle distance are the main barracks, and scattered buildings of a small town behind. The Waipa River may be visible at left before it flows behind central rise separating the foreground from the background. Pirongia Mountain may be the hill at right, although Pirongia Mountain is twin-coned. Artist attributed on grounds of style. The work was attributed to Williams prior to its acquisition. It is also stylistically similar to the work of Henry James Warre; however Warre is not known to have been in Pirongia. He was based in Taranaki. Alexandra is the old name for Pirongia. Members of the 2nd Waikato Regiment built a strong redoubt on a hill at the west side of the town, in about 1864. The long low building in the left background is the Alexandra West Redoubt, while the set of buildings on a low hill in the centre background is the Alexandra East Redoubt. Other Titles - Alexandra and Waikato military camp. Redoubt. Warre Inscriptions: Unsigned and undated.; Verso - centre - [Title] The Library has a black and white copy of the painting at A-113-002, showing it before it was as faded as it now is and while it was in the possession of Mr Lennard. The copy may have been made in the 1960s. The title at the time was given as Alexandra (now Pirongia) ca 1870. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 180 x 480 mm. Provenance: Previously sold at Webb's auction, Auckland, March 1981. The Library has coloured photographs from this period showing the watercolour as quite faded. An earlier owner was Mr L. M. Lennard of Auckland.

A Maori encampment is in the foreground and Maori and Pakeha soldiers are in groups in the foreground. There is the smoke of gunfire in the distance.

It appears to be a proof copy and is on a blank sheet with no surrounding text and is smaller than the Illustrated London News version. The Library's copy of the Illustrated London News for 30 July 1864 is missing this image. The image was formerly catalogued by the Library as Unidentified scene showing encampment of military forces ... and as New Zealand troops marching on Maori fortress, since the derivation from the Illustrated London News had not been established.
