By: Wimperis, Ann Jane, 1844-1929; Petre, Francis William, 1847-1918

Reference: B-189-003

Description: Shows a view, through the trees, of 'The Cliffs' or, as it is locally known, Cargill's Castle, built on the cliffs just south of Dunedin. Mature trees in view include cabbage trees, and the garden in front of the house is beautifully landscaped The mansion was built in 1876-1877 by Edward Bowes Cargill, seventh son of William Cargill, one of Dunedin's founding fathers, as a family home. The Italiante-styled building was designed by one of New Zealand's leading architects, F.W. Petre, who was also responsible for St Joseph's Cathedral in Dunedin. The walls were constructed in poured concrete, and the building's ruins have made it possible to study Petre's building methods. When Jenny Wimperis painted the Castle, around 1881, it would have been a relatively brand-new home. Inscriptions: Recto - bottom left - J Wimperis [in brushstroke] Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
