Description: Photograph of a suspension bridge over the Clutha River at Roxburgh, with the town and surrounding landscape in the background, taken by John Richard Morris ca 1887-1890. A pony and trap with rider is visible on the bridge and the older bridge can be seen upstream. The depicted Roxburgh suspension bridge opened in May 1887 and was in use until March 1974. The earlier wooden bridge had been washed away by flooding in 1878. Source: Heritage New Zealand. This print appears to have been made using an enlarger so will likely date from later than 1887. This also means it is unlikely to have been the print originally displayed at the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition.

Photographs by J R Morris include two of seabirds, both of which show snare's crested penguins, one showing a variety of seabirds, stated to be at the Bounty Islands.
