Reference: A-210-002

Description: Shows the mouth of a stream with sea beyond. Horses and soldiers in the foreground. Very similar to version at B-045-034 with title in the artist's hand 'Alexander's farm, looking seawards from base of hill on which we were camped, 23 January 1865'. Alexander's farm was on the Mowhanau Stream, South Taranaki, not the Patea River. Appears not to show the mouth of the Patea River, despite the title on the front. Title is not in the hand of the artist. The river shown is a shallow fordable stream and the cliffs on both sides do not match those around the much deeper Patea River in the 1860s. May show the Waitotara, but much more likely to be the Mowhanau Stream, as in the related work at B-045-034 Other Titles - Alexander's farm looking seawards from base of hill on which we were camped, 23 January 1865, Mowhanau Stream [alternative title] Inscriptions: Recto - bottom left - Mouth of Patea [in ink, not in the hand of the artist].

Description: Shows a view upstream towards Mount Taranaki shown in haze in the distance. In the foreground a footbridge crosses the stream, and there is a sawmill driven by a waterwheel, at the left end of the bridge. One man crosses the bridge, and several men work around the sawmill, amongst sawn timber. The terrain on the right bank has tree ferns growing on it. Ron Lambert of Taranaki Museum, believes this is the Alpha Mill, which started as a flour mill in 1844, and converted to a timber mill in the 1860s, and then to a bone/saw mill in about 1871. The position of its wheel at right angles to the stream was confirmed by excavation in 1986, although this picture does not show this position clearly. (See AT 13/14/1, 14.5.1997).

There is also a note on the discarded backing that a possible future home for the painting might be Marlborough House, London SW1 (a Commonwealth Centre) - note dated 1960.
