At the bottom of the page, oriented upside-down are, on the left, a plan view of a pa at Golden Bay (Massacre Bay) visited by Heaphy in the mid-late 1840s. On the right is a cross-section view of the stockade around the pa. The text below 'Section of walls near a gateway' [Massacre Bay] reads in part: The stockade was double, an inner line of pallisades standing a foot or 15 inches from the outer wall, which was formed by large posts being planted deep in the ground every 8 feet. Horizontal pieces were lashed to these, the first about three feet from the ground, the second at say seven feet, and the third at ten feet ... Quantity: 1 b&w art print(s).

Description: Shows the ship Triton offshore with a Maori canoe and a rowboat approaching the shore. Mr Creed is in the rowboat while Mrs Creed is being carried onto the beach on the shoulders of a group of Maori women. The Rev. Waterhouse stands on shore, gesturing and surrounded by a large crowd of gesticulating Maori. Tree ferns and dense bush arise close to the shore and Mount Taranaki is in the background to the north. As Baxter never visited New Zealand there are several inaccuracies in the view, including the shape of Mount Taranaki and its position relative to the landing spot, which was in New Plymouth, not on the coast south of the mountain as shown here. Several plants are more tropical in style than they should be, especially the broad leafed low plants in the left foreground, which are probably supposed to be flax. The shape of Mt Taranaki is likely to be based on Charles Heaphy's early pictorial records, or on engravings after his drawings Quantity: 1 colour art print(s).

Description: Maori group beside European military tents at river mouth, with samll bridge and trees, with ships in harbour in background. Two rowboats moored at rivermouth Attributed by the previous owner to Charles Heaphy, showing early site of Auckland and painted about the time of the Northland wars. However, the style of the work is not like Heaphy's, and Heaphy was not in Auckland in 1844. The background harbour does appear to be Waitemata Harbour, Auckland, and the work with a Heaphy-related provenance may be by a member of the Churton family. It may date from the 1860s, rather then the 1840s Inscriptions: Verso - label and other inscriptions written by seller of this work, describing it as by Charles Heaphy, showing the early site of Auckland and painted about 1844. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, with Chinese white, ink and gum arabic over pencil 109 x 198 mm on card 182 x 274 mm Provenance: By descent from Churton family, with other material connected with Charles Heaphy.

Description: Watercolour by Charles Heaphy. Shows a young Māori woman, Meri Wikitoria Makarini of Massacre Bay. She is smiling gently, and is seated on the ground with her legs to one side. She is barebreasted with a cloak or rug covering her lower torso and legs except for the lower right leg. Meri Makarini was the granddaughter of Henare Te Keha, and the daughter of Wikitoria te Amohau and Fritz of Bremen (information from Tuckett correspondence, 12 April 1843 in Hocken Library's MS-0156, page 195?). She was baptised by Samuel Ironside on 15 January 1843. Parawhakaoho Pa (spelled on Heaphy's similar work in the British Library as Parawakao) was reportedly close to Collingwood (source of information unknown). Heaphy's very similar portrait in the British Library is dated 1844, so it seems likely that the work depicts the subject in about 1844, despite the date of 1848. In addition, Heaphy had land in the Motueka area, relatively close to Golden Bay, between December 1842 and 1845. However, in early 1848 he worked to re-establish the boundaries of native reserves allocated at Motueka and Golden Bay and may have met Meri Wikitoria a second time, making a copy of his earlier portrait. Title transcribed from item. Inscriptions: Recto - bottom left - Charles Heaphy / 1848 This portrait is very similar to another in the British Library Add MS 19954, Folio 58 (68), titled "Meri Wikitoria [Meri Makarini] (a half cast) of Parawakao, Massacre Bay". Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 365 x 288 mm. Provenance: Previously from the collection of Sir James and Lady Fletcher who purchased it from John Leech Gallery in 2005. Previously owned by a Paris dealer, who acquired this work and four others by Heaphy and Francis Dillon Bell at a French country sale. Possibly originally owned by Francis Dillon Bell. The Library has acquired three other works from the collection, purchased 2006 and 2014, reference numbers C-025-025, C-173-001 and C-173-002. The 5th work, a panorama of New Plymouth by Bell is in Puke Ariki. Processing information: Description updated 30 August 2023 following information provided by a staff member.

Description: A full length portrait of Hiko in a fringed flax cloak, seated on the stern of a canoe at the water's edge, a mere in his right hand. The accompanying text reads: Hiko the son of Te Pehi Kupe (or Tupai Cupa, as he was formerly called when he visited England in 1826). Hiko is the highest chief in Cook's Strait, by descent. But the intrigues of Rauperaha have almost annihilated his influence. He is of mild and affable demeanour, and dignified bearing; but no trust can be placed in his word, he speaks almost always ironically, and tells direct falsehoods without shame.

Description: Mount Taranaki in the background of this view inside a pa, showing a provision store, elaborately carved, on poles with a notched central pole acting as a ladder, a Maori woman [?] about to ascend the central ladder with a dead sucking pig, and flax baskets (kete) of supplies stacked at its base to the right. A Maori man is beating an object, possibly fern root, with a pounder on a stone in the right foreground. Two figures are seated by a cooking pot in the background in front of a whare puni or sleeping house, a dog on the right. The decorated barge boards of another whare are visible and the palisades around the pa include a carved human figure with a pipe in its mouth. The accompanying text reads: Chiefly used to keep articles of food. The carving is in wood, and these figures are painted with red ochre, charcoal, and white clay, in quaint patterns. In the back-ground is a ware puni or sleeping-house. Based on Charles Heaphy's watercolour "Provision house at Otumatua Pah, Cape Egmont [1841]" (Ref. no. A-146-009). The watercolour has the background figures and the dog, but not the foreground figures. Other details have been reasonably faithfully followed in the lithograph, apart from the addition of tall trees outside the palisades of the pa. Quantity: 1 colour art print(s).
