Cridland, Henry John, 1821-1867 :Port Lyttleton [Lyttelton], Cavendish Bay Victoria Har...
Date: 1850
By: Cridland, Henry John, 1821-1867; Burnand, William Henry, active 1843-1850s; Turnbull, Alexander Horsburgh, 1868-1918
Reference: A-195-016
Description: View from Governor's Bay looking back towards Lyttelton, with various features marked, including Mount Pleasant, H. M. S. Fly in the harbour, the Custom house, Major Hornby's Hotel [Major Hornbrook's hotel, the Mitre Inn] , the Emigration Barracks, a public cook house, the store and the temporary office of the Union Bank, John Robert Godley's house and garden, the Land Office, the Police Office and the Town Hall, Market Place, Jail and Hospital, the [Canterbury] Association Store House, the Esplanade, settlers' huts, the church, parsonage and school house. Several people including an artist are seated on rocks to the left, by an arched rock. The others are a woman with a baby and another woman with two small children. The reversing of the artist's initials and the naivety of the drawing may indicate that this is a contemporary copy by another hand of the original Cridland sketch located at C-014-002-1. It does, however, have more features indicated in writing than the C-014-002-1 version. Other Titles - Lyttelton. The boat labelled 'FLY' is not an accurate depiction of the HMS Fly. See A-292-070 or C-033-003 for more accurate depictions. September 2022 Inscriptions: Recto - beneath image - title, signature [with initials reversed], date; Recto - top centre - [text describing the scene and its details]; Verso - [map of Christchurch] Quantity: 2 drawing(s). Physical Description: Ink on blue laid paper 196 x 324 mm (irregularly cut) Provenance: Previously tipped into a volume of Alexander Horsburgh Turnbull's copy of The New Zealand Journal housed on the open shelves in the Reference Collection at q328.42 until 1989. The volume had earlier belonged to W H Burnand. Transfers: Compare a very similar view with the same provenance located at C-014-002-1.
