There are logs by the river and some cleared, some bush-clad hills, suggesting the beginnings of forest clearance The second Blomfield oil purchased from Cordy's as a pair to this oil, dated 1878, and showing a distinctive rock formation, was sold as being a Coromandel scene like this one.

By: Norman, Edmund, 1820-1875

Reference: A-113-003

Description: Three Maori seated in the foreground at the edge of a curved river bank with the palisades and a whare or part of a pa to the right. Cabbage trees, flax and manuka trees and other taller trees on a plain. In the middle ground is a European house and outbuildings surrounded by a fence, at the foot of a prominent hill, with other hills in the background to the left. The scene bears a strong resemblance to a view of Kaiapoi, early 1850s, a watercolour in the Canterbury Museum by Charles Haubro. However, the hills in the background make a location further inland in Canterbury more likely. Norman was in the Wellington Region from 1842 to 1845. He is not known to have visited the Waikato area, a location suggested by the Auckland seller of the drawing. He is known to have visited as far north as Auckland itself. In the 1850s until his death in 1872 he was based in the South Island, in Canterbury and South Canterbury, and his undated drawing of Nelson is also in the Library's collection. One possible location for this view is Rangitumau, with the prominent hill being Mount Rangitumau (north of Masterton in the Wairarapa) and the river being either the Whangaehu or the Kopuaranga. If the scene is a Wairarapa one, it is likely to date from between 1842 to 1845. Other Titles - Rangitumau, Wairarapa? Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - Ed Norman Quantity: 1 drawing(s).

By: Hoyte, John Barr Clark, 1835-1913

Reference: A-234-012

Description: Four slab huts with raupo thatched roofs and slab chimneys in a clearing in New Zealand bush, with tree ferns and cabbage trees, as well as other large trees and dense bush in the background. There is a high rocky bluff to the right and tall hills in the background. Smoke is coming from the chimneys of the left- and right-most huts, there are steps leading to the central hut and the right-hand hut has a woman in a red skirt standing in the doorway. The top of the chimney for this last hut is formed by a barrel. Bush combined with rock formations suggest the Coromandel district, visited by Hoyte during the gold-mining era. The settlement is likely to be of semi-permanent miners' huts. Other Titles - Early settlers' camp.
