Similar images are held by the British Library, in a private collection in Basel and reproduced in Hochstetter's New Zealand (Stuttgart, 1867). As this version has the initials 'C.C.' (Cherie Connell), it is possible that she painted this copy herself.

They were the first Pakeha to visit the Poutini Ngai Tahu settlements in Westland and to establish Mount Cook as New Zealand's highest mountain. Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - C.C.
