By: Clarke, Cuthbert Charles, 1818-1863; Oliver, Richard Aldworth, 1811-1889

Reference: B-030-001

Description: Shows Maori launching a canoe; a horse and cart are on the road to the right, at the base of a cliff Title taken from handwritten slip on back; compare with slip on back of B-030/002. Both slips removed in the course of conservation and no longer present. There is a faint pencil drawing of a bush scene on the verso. The backing of the work has been partially removed and the drawing is hard to see. This work was attributed by the Library to Cuthbert Clarke until 2008. However Clarke is not known to have visited the Wellington region and the style appears closer to that of R. A. Oliver, who was based in Wellington and visited the Hutt Valley on more than one occasion. One watercolour of the Hutt by Oliver is dated March 1848, another September 30th, with no year. Compare the articulation of the figure dragging the canoe at the right, with a figure in the same position, dragging a canoe at Wahapu, Bay of Islands, in Oliver's watercolour at C-001-011 Other Titles - Clarke, Cuthbert Charles, 1819-1863. 1848-1851 Inscriptions: Recto - 'Title taken from handwritten slip on back; compare with slip on back of B-030-002' according to catalogue card. Neither hand-written slip has been retained. The wording of the title suggests a later attribution, not the artist's own title. For location of this view compare with Charles Barraud's "[River valley] 1856" at B-084-005; and with G Swainson's "Road round the second gorge", lithograph in British Library - see file print of this at E-143-067. Several of Swainson's lithographs are after originals by other artists. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour 241 x 327 mm

From: [Brees, Samuel Charles] 1810-1865 :Pictorial Illustrations of New Zealand. Plate 3. Lowry Bay District & Road, 6; The Aglionby Arms (Burcham's) River Hutt, 7; Porerua Bay, 8. Engraved by Henry Melville; drawn by S C Brees. [1847]

By: Brees, Samuel Charles, 1810?-1865; Melville, Henry, 1792-1870

Reference: A-109-023

Description: Shows path into hills with apparently land-locked water in the background. From: Brees, S C. Pictorial illustrations of New Zealand, no 6 Plate 3, published London 1847 Brees in his text to "Pictorial Illustrations" notes: "This is a district adjoining Port Nicholson consisting principally of swamp and fern ... There are two mountain streams connected with this district, the Wai-nui-o-mate and the Oronga-ronga ... A road will be carried over this way to the Waira-rapa,some day as a cross line to Palliser Bay". This tect suggests that the 1840s definition of the extent of Lowry Bay was much larger than the present and included the Wainuiomata and Orongorongo Valleys. The image does not resemble the topography of the present Lowry Bay area, but the expanse of water is too great for the area shown to be Wainuiomata or Orongorongo Quantity: 1 colour art print(s).
