Date: 1894

By: Barraud, Charles Decimus, 1822-1897; Barraud, William Francis, 1850-1926

Reference: C-007-012

Description: Shows the Castlecliff freezing works near Wanganui, on the waterside near the bluff, in the distance at the far end of a beach which curves along the right of the picture. Two horsemen ride along the beach, droving a flock of sheep. In the right distance a steam train approaches the freezing works. Several craft are tied up at the wharf, and other ships sail or steam away in the left distance. White shags (?) stand on driftwood branches in the left foreground, and an old basketwork fishing trap (perhaps an eel trap or crayfish pot) lies half submerged in the bottom left corner. Signed and dated C. D. Barraud 1894, lower right. However the work appears to be that of Christopher Aubrey and the signature has probably been added much later by an unknown person. The signature is similar to Barraud's lower-case printed style of signature but not identical. The watercolour is almost identical in subject to other watercolours by C. Aubrey, also dated 1894. The Whanganui Regional Museum holds three versions of the Aubrey watercolour, two dated 1894, one 1901. There is also one, dated 1894, offered for sale at Dunbar Sloane's Wellington auction, 17 November 2004, lot 29 (illustrated in the catalogue). All five views are very strongly similar, even to the details of the people sheep-droving along the beach, although the smoke from the factory chimney in the other known versions is being blow to the right; in the Library's version it is being blown to the left. The style of the work is much closer to Aubrey's style than to Barraud's, with slightly awkward rendering of people and animals, generous use of white highlighter, and a characteristic way of rendering vegetation Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - C D Barraud 1894 Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
