New Zealand scenery album 2
Date: [Circa 1870s to 1880s]
By: Edmund Wheeler & Son (Firm); Burton Brothers (Dunedin, N.Z.)
Reference: PA1-o-386
Description: Photographs of New Zealand scenery taken by various photographs of whom Wheeler & Son and the Burton Brothers are identified. There are a number of images of Mount Tarawera and surrounds both before and after the eruption on 10th June 1886. A few other images show the volcanic areas around Whakarewarewa and Wairakei in the North Island; all the rest are in the South Island. Two interesting images show people transported across wide rivers by flying fox, one with a woman sitting in the `cage', across a river near Lake Wakatipu (probably Deep Creek or the Shotover, near Skippers), and one with two people crossing the Hooker River. Most of the views of people are distant views, but several near the end of the album show close-up views of men climbing on glaciers with ropes and ice picks.

Description: Early photographs of New Zealand, most taken by Hart, Campbell & Co, and Wheeler & Son. Inserted in a pocket attached inside the front cover are two items. One an old print of a hut at Milford, taken by Hart, Campbell & Co, and the other a newspaper cutting (Evening Star Friday March 23, 1934), of Dunedin from View Street, and Dunedin from Dowling Street, both taken in 1861. The photograph of a Cobb & Co. coach at Palmerston, has the caption `2. Cobb's coach. E Devine, driver. Palmerston, Otago, N.Z. 1876' and the photographers are named as Hart, Campbell & Co. One set of photographs have no captions and no identification of photographer. They follow a group of men travelling along a river bed, with small rowing boats, on river banks, and at the foot of waterfalls. Another sequence shows native bush, tree ferns and rivers. Two views (pages 8, 10) show Linnburn Station. One is unidentified in the album, but identified from the same image at Te Papa (digital view on the internet), the other closer view of the homestead has a caption. Relationship complexity - The photograph of Cobb's Coach at Palmerston (p. 7), is the same image as one at PAColl-7344-54 (Box 16), with the same caption `2. Cobb's coach. E Devine, driver. Palmerston, Otago, N.Z. 1865', but the photographers are identified as Hart, Campbell & Co. on this image, but identified as Burton Bros. on the PAColl copy. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

By: Edmund Wheeler & Son (Firm)
Reference: PA1-o-533
Description: New Zealand views taken circa 1870s to 1880s by E Wheeler & Son. Scenes include both North Island and South Island views, and all places named are listed above, as are businesses, ships and buildings, where possible. Items of interest include a photograph of trout taken by the Upper Selwyn River "A good day's sport. 38 fish, with the fly, 2 rods" with two large baskets alongside. Two scenes show different means of transport across rivers where there are no bridges. One is the "Cage bridge" (or Flying Fox) across the Teremakau (Taramakau) River, and the other shows a ferry punt across the Buller River. A number of views show farming activities, including a scene near Cheviot of about 20,000 sheep being drafted for shearing; and one of a wagon laden with wool bales being hauled by a team of bullocks. A view of gold sluicing is shown in this album with the locality indistinct. The same view is shown in the first Wheeler Album (PA1-o-532) in which the locality is named as Waimea.
