From: Girdlestone, Hubert Earle, 1879-1918 : Albums relating to surveying, tramping and climbing

Reference: PA1-o-1224

Description: Mainly a series of holidays, tramping trips, and local excursions. The first is a trip to the head of Lake Te Anau and Milford Sound via the Milford track. It begins on the road between Glenorchy and Paradise, then through the valley of the Route Burn River to the Hollyford Valley where the party camped on the shores of Lake Howden. From there they passed Lakes Fergus and Gunn into the Eglinton River Valley and on to Te Anau, and then onto the Milford track to Milford Sound via the Clinton River Valley. Images on the way include Mount Balloon, Mount Elliott, Routeburn Hut, and Lake Ada. There is a view of Mitre Peak, Mount Tutoko, and the Pembroke Glacier from Milford Sound. The second series relates to a camping trip to Wanganui and the Whanganui River. This includes a game of golf and visiting friends in St John's Hill. There are views of the party's camp and a number of images taken during a canoeing trip up the Whanganui River in what looks like a Maori dug out canoe. Two other images in this group are of men standing beside the trigs on Mounts Holdworth and Dundas in the Tararua Ranges. The third series is of family and friends at home in Eastbourne and in the bush at Muritai; Girdlestone, a friend, and two women on motor cycles on the coast road; views of Eastbourne from the hills above the suburb; women on the beach and reading at home. The fourth series relates to a trip to the Volcanic Plateau during which the party climbed Mounts Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. There are two group photographs of the whole party, one taken in front of the Waihohonu Hut, and the other on the summit of Mount Ruapehu. The fifth series shows a party of men and women on a walk and a picnic in the beach forest in Gollan's Valley near Eastbourne. The sixth series is a record of a holiday to Queen Charlotte and Pelorus Sounds taken by a group of men over Christmas 1913. There are views of the sounds and surrounding landscape, of Portage where the party stayed, and of boat and fishing trips that they made during their stay. The seventh series is of a tramping trip to the Orongrongo River Valley. The views are of native forest, the river and the mountains, and one of two men boiling a billy beside their tent in the bush. The eighth series consists of two photographs of the wreck of the "Devon" on the rocks at Pencarrow Heads, Wellington harbour. This occured on the 25th of August 1913. The ninth series is a group of photographic postcards of the Te Anau, Milford region, and probably relate to the trip recorded at the beginning of this album. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

Date: 1924-ca1980

By: Searle, Roland James, 1904-1984

Reference: PAColl-0639

Description: Most of the black and white photographs date from the late 1920s to ca 1950. Of these there are quite a large number of early prints from the late 1920s to the mid 1930s. Most of these have not been "pictorialised" in the soft focus style Searle used for his later finished work. They are small snapshot sized and sharp and clear in detail. The general range of their subject matter sums up Searle's range of interests, photographically speaking, throughout his life. This general subject range is as follows - Railways, family friends and weddings (women and children predominate), Wellington city, Ships, Wellington Botanic Garden, Wellington Zoo (mainly animal studies), ANZAC Days, Some sports, aircraft, some other New Zealand towns, military training Second World War, some overseas trips of which those to New Caledonia during the Second World War and later were the most significant, and landscape studies. This last category makes up the largest group of photographs in the collection, especially in the later "pictorial" prints. Though the majority are unlabeled, most have at least one with identification written on the back - though to find these would require looking through some thousands of prints. Most of the pictorialised photographs have been printed on a pale creamy - brown paper which gives them an antique and arty appearence. Most have been manipulated to soften the focus, at times creating a painterly effect or the effect of some lithographs of the late 19th/early 20th centuries. A few have been treated to look like pencil drawings. Though most are landscapes there are also a fair number of architectural shots and flower studies, and some Māori subjects and portraits. Landscapes are predominantly attempts to emulate the sublime and classical/romantic traditions. Mountains and glaciers, humanised landscapes, with or without sheep, reminiscent of the creations of the 18th century English landscape designers, are most common. A fair number of the latter have been taken in some of our larger public parks and gardens. Humans very seldom feature in them. There are several essays of the Pinnacles at Palliser Bay. Many of the same images have been used over and over again. Arrangement: Negatives housed at 1/4-096421 to 096718 and 098069 to 099110; 1/2-178222 to 178231 Quantity: 7320 b&w original photographic print(s). 5 album(s). 214 b&w original negative(s) of which 204 are 35mm strips comprising 632 images. 162 colour original photographic print(s). 3100 colour original transparency/ies. 33 colour photo-mechanical print(s).

From: Girdlestone, Hubert Earle, 1879-1918 : Albums relating to surveying, tramping and climbing

Reference: PA1-o-1223

Description: There are three general groups of images in this album. The first records a holiday to the Volcanic Plateau, taken by a group of men over Christmas 1912, where they climbed Mounts Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe, and Tongariro. The story starts with the group outside the 14 miles stables where they hired a wagon to transport them into the mountains. The route they took was from the north eastern side of Ruapehu to the Waihohonu Hut situated between Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. They climbed Te Heu Heu Peak and then trekked across the snow to the Crater Lake returning to Waihohonu Hut and a dip in the Waihohonu Stream. The next day they set out for Mounts Ngarauhoe and Tongariro. They paused at the source of the northern branch of the Waihohonu Stream on their way to climb to the crater of Ngarauhoe. By the end of the day they reached the Ketetahi Hut on the northern slopes of Tongariro near the Ketetahi Springs. The next day they tramped out via Lake Rotoaira to Tokaanu where they set up camp on the shores of Lake Taupo. The Party then moved north to Wairakei and Rotorua taking in stops at the Huka falls and the Aratiatia Rapids. From Rotorua they returned to Wellington by train. The next group records a hunting trip into what is today the Haurangi State Forest Park in the south eastern Wairarapa in February 1913. There are views of the camp with Girdlestone's mother and another woman visiting. The area depicted is in the valley of the Turanganui River and the surrounding hills. Images include native forest views, a forest fire, hunting pigs with dogs, riding horses, the corpses of wild pigs, groves of Karaka trees, and partly cleared land. The third group of images are of social and sporting events associated with two houses. In both cases the sport depicted is men and women playing tennis. Other images include a child driving a peddle car, views of the "Devon" wrecked on the rocks at Pencarrow Head 25th of August 1913, and women and children with horses. The last image in the album is that of a young woman writing as she holds a telephone reciever to her ear. Quantity: 1 album(s).
