Reference: C-025-020

Description: Shows G. F. Russell's house and timber yard at Kohukohu, Hokianga Harbour, with a ship and a barque, the Francis Spaight (nearer vessel) and the Bolina (on the left) loading kauri spars; and a row-boat hauling spars. On the hill behind is dense native forest. For many years, this watercolour was thought to show Horeke with Lieutenant Thomas McDonnell's house. However Maureen Lander's "Turnbull Library Record" article cited below proves that the image is of Kohukohu and of G. F. Russell's house. See Turnbull Library Record vol.22. no.1, May 1989, p.33-40 for an article by Maureen Lander establishing that this view is of Kohukohu and is accurate in its details. The view dates from a trip Heaphy made with other New Zealand Company employees in December 1839, looking for appropriate areas to establish cities. The New Zealand Company's vessel the "Tory", with the artist on board, was in the Hokianga Harbour between 2 and 16 December. See also the article by Brian Byrne in "Turnbull Library record" 1997, pages 73-76, identifying the "Francis Spaight" and the "Bolina", with evidence.

Description: Shows a view of the bay and the house and family of Alfred Cooke Yarborough. In the foreground are his children Bryan and Gerty Cooke Yarborough and a woman who is probably his wife Mary (nee Ferguson). Bryan (born 1877) is seated on the grass at the left and wears a sailor's suit, and Gerty standing at the right wears a blue dress, white bonnet and knickerbockers. The woman wears a brown dress and hat both with red trim. The house is amongst trees in the left middle distance, and the harbour and hills are beyond. Other Titles - Bryan Extended Title - From Gertrude Flora Yarborough's scrapbook of watercolours ... 1878 and after, page 40 The children appear to be aged about 2-3 (Bryan, born 1877) and 4-5 (Gerty, born 1876). The date is therefore likely to be about 1880. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 234 x 323 mm.
