Description: Looking across a river towards mountains. A small Maori canoe is on the river, with flax, cabbage trees and other bush on both sides Originally catalogued by the Library as being painted by J B Fraser, a possible interpretation of the artist's monogram.

Description: A view from above Whangamarino Redoubt with three cannons in the foreground. The left one is firing out over river and plain. The river bends at the extreme right, or may join another. The gunboat (Pioneer) is in the river in the centre distance, near a fortification or pa with a flag flying. In a note on the back A W F Fuller quotes G W Rusden's History of NZ 1883, vol. II, page 167: "On the 29th October 1863, General Cameron with Commander Wiseman, reconnoitred Mere-Mere. Two 40 pound Armstrong guns had been previously landed at Whangamarino to command the landing place at Mere Mere. That stronghold was on a low ridge which approached the Waikato river. Traversed rifle-pits occupied the descent of the ridge to the river. Swamps almost encircled the ridge, & the Whangamarino & Maramarua rivers, or creeks, were available to the east for the possible retreat always aimed at by Maoris in their plans of fortification. The swamps were more water-laden than usual. The Maori flag floated in a pah where the ridge was 130 feet high. Every slope & projection from the ridge to the swamps was traversed with rifle-pits..." The mention of the flag appears to mean that the Maori pa is the one with the flag flying in the centre distance.

Reference: A-196-025

Description: A rocky foreshore and cliff in the foreground, possibly Kaiwharawhara, or further along the Hutt Road at Rocky Point looking towards Khandallah and Ngaio. Only two houses are shown amidst bushy hills. In the foreground a European man is on horseback, accompanied by a Maori man and woman. Another European is standing near a Maori man while the latter pushes a small canoe out from the rocks. A single yacht is in the water. Date of 1865 is suggested because an F. R. Chesney wrote to James Coutts Crawford from Tasmania on geological matters in December 1864 and may have come later to Wellington as a visitor. Wellington became the capital in 1865. The view appears to be quite early with only two houses showing and Maori shown in partial European dress. The signature on the letter from Tasmania matches that on the watercolour. Chesney's letter makes it clear that he is a resident in Tasmania and that English is probably his first language, suggesting that the French title may have been added by a later owner Other Titles - Nouvelle Zelande, Port de Nicholson. New Zealand Port Nicholson, Wellington, near the capital [translation and correction] Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - monogram FC in ink; also F. R. Chesney in brushpoint.; Verso - title in pencil in French; also inscriptions in pencil transcribing the title and repeating it in English along with a signature and date (17 Jany 1934) in the hand of A. W. F. Fuller. Further very faint illegible inscriptions in pencil. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour on light card, 195 x 284 mm. Provenance: Collection of A. W. F. Fuller.
