At some point many of the photographs have been removed from their slots, and others have been placed in the wrong slot so that the subject and caption on the photograph does not match with the caption below. Places are listed above. There are five photographs of Maori, three of women, two of chiefs. The names given are difficult to identify, having complicated spelling, and the captions on photographs have faded in some cases. They include "Maori wahine Ngareti"; "Maori chief Hoera Watene"; "Maori chiefs Panapa Tenihotiti and Topopoki" and "Maori wahine Huihana?". One photograph, of Atiamuri, has the name "Hawley" as photographer. Other Titles - "Valentine & Sons. Photographs" Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

Description: The centre foreground shows the site of an ancient pa of the Waiohua people, with a view of the southern approach to the Manukau Harbour and Auckland isthmus. A track leads on to the wooded promontory from the left foreground. Beyond the rock and to the right of it is a settler's farmhouse showing fenced fields, tree stumps, and rows of garden plantings. Two figures on horseback ride on the road at the base of the promontory, near the farm, and a woman and child stand in the centre of a nearby field. In the left distance, two rivers flow away into the Manukau Harbour and the Waitakere Ranges appear on the far horizon. The light effects and appearance of the sky indicate that the time is shortly before sunset "Art unions" were raffles or lotteries for works of art, and helped artists to get their works known. The Gaming and Lotteries Act of 1880 regulated this activity. Roger Blackley, in "The art of Alfred Sharpe" (Auckland, 1992) notes that the period around 1880 represents the peak of Alfred Sharpe's career; he held two art unions, and published the first of his technical writings. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 610 x 942 mm Provenance: From the collection of artist and writer Tui McLauchlan. In 1880, this work, valued at 15 guineas, was the first prize in Alfred Sharpe's Christmas art union. The ten prizes were exhibited over December at Edward Wayte's stationery shop in Queen Street. The first prize winner (and therefore first owner of this work) was John Boylan, C.E., an Auckland civil engineer.
