By: Valentine, George Dobson, 1852-1890

Reference: PA1-q-229

Description: Photographs taken by George Valentine during the 1880s. All the views appear to be taken in the vicinity of Lake Tarawera and Lake Tikitapu. Most of the views show various angles of both the Pink and the White Terraces, before and after the eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886, and the bush at lake Tikitapu, before and after the eruption. Two views show a waterfall and creek which George Valentine calls the Waitakeri Falls, and Waitakeri Creek. These names are no longer shown on maps of the area, so the creek and waterfall may have been smothered during the eruption. Quantity: 1 album(s). Physical Description: Album, lacks cover, photographs glued to card; 28 x 36 cm
