Martin album
Date: [1880s]
By: Martin, Josiah, 1843-1916; Coxhead, Frank Arnold, 1851-1908
Reference: PA1-o-334
Description: According to the inscription inside the front cover (by an unidentified person), the date is firmly established as 1884, however the album has a number of photographs of the Tarawera area, both before and after the volcanic eruption in 1886. These include views of the White Terraces, one of which has a group of Maori cooking food in the hot pools; a carved house at Te Wairoa, showing interior and exterior before the eruption, and the exterior afterwards; a group of Maori at Te Ariki (one of the places most devastated in the eruption with the loss of many lives. This image has the inscription `Natives of te Ariki first to be killed by eruption'); views of Mount Tarawera covered in mud and ash; and the Old Mill, destroyed in the eruption. Many of the images have the signature initials J.M. (Josiah Martin), and a few have the initials F.A.C (Frank Arnold Coxhead) who may have taken them, but which may just have been printed by him. The last few views are in Tasmania, including Burnie - Emu Bay, and the Guide Falls, near Burnie. Inscriptions: Album page - `Ex libris Brent Gration-Maxfield. 1967'; Album page - `New Zealand. 1884. An early series of 46 4to sepia photographs of New Zealand views. The date, 1884, is firmly established by the letter opposite [attached to album page. Unsigned and undated], which refers to both the album and G.A. Sala's visit in 1884 (see the D.N.B.) to New Zealand to gather information for his book "The land of the golden fleece" which was published in 1885' Quantity: 1 album(s).
