By: Beetham, Lucelle Frances, 1842-1910; Taine, Josephine Lorna, 1899-1996

Reference: A-178-009

Description: View of the Manawatu Gorge with a rider on horseback on the road beside the river in the distance and another figure walking behind the horse. The road is formed on the right side of the river but there is no railway line on the left. Native bush is shown beside the river and on the hillsides. The road through the Gorge was completed in 1875. The railway on the north bank did not go in until 1891. These facts suggest that this work was completed between 1875 and 1891. Also Richmond Beetham and his wife Lucelle (the artist) moved to Napier in 1876. The phrase "Mrs Beetham" appears to be in a different hand from the title. It may refer either to the identity of the artist or to an owner. The style is very like that of several members of the Swainson family. Lucelle Swainson married artist Richmond Beetham and seems a likely artist for this work. Inscriptions: Recto - bottom left - title and Mrs Beetham, the latter in a different hand Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: Pencil on paper 250 x 350 mm

Date: 1873

By: Barraud, Charles Decimus, 1822-1897

Reference: C-156-012

Description: Shows a view looking along the valley with glimpses of a lake (probably Lake Pearson) with mountain ranges in the distance. In the left foreground, a horseman rides along a dirt road which curves away at the right, where two figures walk, possibly wearing backpacks. There are signs of shingle slides and erosion on the slope of the bushcovered hill at the left. This is the original watercolour from which the chromolithograph "Craigieburn Valley" was produced for Barraud's "New Zealand graphic and descriptive", 1877. Barraud's associated text refers to 'the lake seen in the distance is another of the beautiful glacier lakes ... takes its name from a sheep station in the vicinity ...'. This makes it most likely to be Lake Pearson. If it is Lake Pearson, the snow-clad mountain beyond it is probably Mount Binzer and the hill alongside is Purple Hill. There is some possibility that the lake is Lake Grasmere, but Grasmere is not flanked by a steep hill as shown in this view Label on backing board (not retained, not in hand of the artist): "Scene on the West Coast Road from Christchurch to Hokitika passing through the Craigburn Valley" Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 253 x 352 mm. Provenance: Previously part of the collection of Sir James Fletcher.
