A Maori woman [?] is walking away from the viewer and further along the path is a European man and another person. Date of 1844 is suggested because Brees' watercolour entitled Cape Palliser is dated 1844, and this view is likely to have been taken on the same exploratory trip. There are faint map outlines in pencil on the verso. Other Titles - Whaling station, Te Kopi, Palliser Bay, 1844? Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - title in brushpoint Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).

[Brees, Samuel Charles] 1810-1865 :Cape Palliser [looking] towards the Wairarapa. 1844

Date: 1844

By: Brees, Samuel Charles, 1810?-1865; Webb, Esther M, active 1938-1957

Reference: B-031-027

Description: A Pakeha male and two Maori walking on a rocky beach with cliffs and low scrub to their right, looking towards Palliser Bay and Wellington in the distance. Both Maori are in cloaks and are carrying taiaha. This work was given the title Turakirae Head by Library staff, possibly in the 1950s, 60s or early 1970s. Close inspection in January 1996 revealed a previously unnoticed title. Cape Palliser is a considerable distance from Turakirae Head, although along the same stretch of coastline. Modern photographs confirm that the site is Cape Palliser, and that the topography as recorded by Brees is accurate. The only modern change is a (probably man-made) pool half-way between the high tide mark and the cliffs. A copy of modern photographs of the same scene is with the watercolour. On verso: section of a manuscript map of Pauatahanui and Porirua Harbour, presumably by Brees. Pauatahanui is called Pawai Tang[inui? - paper trimmed]. Other Titles - Turakirae Head, Palliser Bay coast ca 1843 Inscriptions: Recto - lower centre over a sandy patch between the foreground rock outcrop and the closest Maori and rocks; in brushpoint and very faint and illegible in parts: Cape Palliser towards the Wairarapa. 1844. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour & gum arabic 173 x 372 mm
