Description: Coastline of Arahura district, Westland, looking south with Mount Cook in the distance and a sailing ship offshore, near the mouth of the Taramakau River. 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. Originally dates from Heaphy's five-month long exploration from Nelson to the West Coast near Hokitika, in company with William Fox, Thomas Brunner and Kehu, March-August 1846. 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.

Description: Two Maori men waving or pointing to two European men, who are throwing rocks on the ground ahead of them to test its firmness. The steaming crater lake is surrounded by hills, with a geyser or fountain of hot water in the background. One of the two Europeans is likely to be a self-portrait by the artist. Thought on acquisition to show Lake Rotomahana. Title is from F von Hochstetter's Geology of New Zealand (1864), where this image is reproduced as Plate 8, no.IV (at back of volume). Because of the painting's presence in this book, it was thought to have been executed in the late 1850s, possibly during Hochstetter's visit to New Zealand. However the presence in the Great Exhibition of a watercolour by Heaphy of this subject in 1851, suggests a much earlier visit by Heaphy to the area. There is a very similar watercolour in a private collection in Basel, by descent from Hochstetter. Heaphy may have copied his earlier watercolour and given a copy to Hochstetter to be used for illustrating Geology of New Zealand. May have been shown at the Great Exhibition, Crystal Palace, London in 1851. In the New Zealand section of the exhibition, lot 27 is an entry from C. Ligar, of a model of of White Island. "Also a drawing of the place, by C.Heaphy" (See exhibition catalogue, p. 1002) Other Titles - Rotomahana Lake and geyser [former incorrect title] Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).

Description: Shows a still dark green river with a virgin kauri forest, low scrub and flax on its far bank. In the centre of the view is a row-boat, with Colonel William Wakefield in top hat seated in the stern, trailing an oar. The other occupants of the boat are a Maori named Te Whare, a Rotuman named Saturday, Dr George Robinson, Dr John Dorset and Charles Heaphy. Heaphy is thought to be the fourth from the right, the young man with brown hair and a moustache. There are several ducks on the river to the left. The scene is almost certainly the upper Wairoa River, as described by Colonel William Wakefield ' Higher up, where the river narrows to the breadth of the Thames at Kew, both sides presented magnificent forest - some entirely of kauri in a state of the greatest profusion' (quoted in The unknown Kaipara by Brian Byrne, p. 166). Shows an incident that occurred after the grounding of the Tory on 19 December 1839. Painted after the event and dated 1840. See Wakefield, E. J. Adventure in New Zealand, vol. 1 p. 156ff. The boat was being rowed from Te Kopuru up the Wairoa River.
