Description: Shows a view across the flowering gardens of Major Baker's house in Thorndon Quay, to Wellington Harbour, Somes Island, Ward Island, the Hutt Valley and the snow-capped Tararuas. The view is from the verandah two of whose posts divide the view. The Kaiwharawhara Hotel and a moored ship at Kaiwharawhara can be seen at the left. A small child in a dress holds picked flowers in his apron and offers some to a Maori man seated with a basket beside a flower bed. A Maori figure in a red cloak stands over the fence at the left, and another carries a load on her back at the right. There are three tall sailing ships in the harbour and three smaller craft including a waka carrying four figures, in the near left portion of the harbour. According to a note on the back of the work, the small child is Baker's eldest son Frederick Arnold Baker, born 30 December 1845. In 1848, Major Baker owned a two-storeyed building at Kaiwharawhara, and this may also be shown in the picture. (See Ward's "Early Wellington", page 150).
