Description: Red-coated soldiers (probably from the 58th Regiment) in the foreground, groups of Maori men and women, canoes drawn up on the shore of the Hutt River, the palisades of the pa in the background, with tall trees beyond. Several Maori are carrying bundles on their backs, possibly of potatoes, since Brees mentions 'extensive potato grounds' around the pa in his text on p.30 of Pictorial Illustrations of New Zealand The date of the original is likely to be 1845, since the soldiers shown did not occupy the Hutt Valley until 1845. The pa was located on the east bank of the river close to the site of the present Melling Bridge. Brees mentions that Makaenuku Pa was built by Porirua Maori after 1840.

Description: Maori group beside European military tents at river mouth, with samll bridge and trees, with ships in harbour in background. Two rowboats moored at rivermouth Attributed by the previous owner to Charles Heaphy, showing early site of Auckland and painted about the time of the Northland wars. However, the style of the work is not like Heaphy's, and Heaphy was not in Auckland in 1844. The background harbour does appear to be Waitemata Harbour, Auckland, and the work with a Heaphy-related provenance may be by a member of the Churton family. It may date from the 1860s, rather then the 1840s Inscriptions: Verso - label and other inscriptions written by seller of this work, describing it as by Charles Heaphy, showing the early site of Auckland and painted about 1844. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, with Chinese white, ink and gum arabic over pencil 109 x 198 mm on card 182 x 274 mm Provenance: By descent from Churton family, with other material connected with Charles Heaphy. (Heaphy's wife was Kate Churton)
