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.

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
