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.

Two are well-known, Benmore Station and Gramere Station (then known as Hawden's Station [i.e. Hawdon's Station]. The third is possibly that of George Gilbert Suman [the hand-written description appears to be `Sumans Station' at German Bay, and according to Wise's Post Office Directory, William Gilbert Suman lived in German Bay in 1875).

By: Barraud, Charles Decimus, 1822-1897

Reference: C-156-012

Description: Shows a view looking along the valley with glimpses of a lake (probably Lake Pearson) with mountain ranges in the distance. In the left foreground, a horseman rides along a dirt road which curves away at the right, where two figures walk, possibly wearing backpacks. There are signs of shingle slides and erosion on the slope of the bushcovered hill at the left. This is the original watercolour from which the chromolithograph "Craigieburn Valley" was produced for Barraud's "New Zealand graphic and descriptive", 1877. Barraud's associated text refers to 'the lake seen in the distance is another of the beautiful glacier lakes ... takes its name from a sheep station in the vicinity ...'. This makes it most likely to be Lake Pearson. If it is Lake Pearson, the snow-clad mountain beyond it is probably Mount Binzer and the hill alongside is Purple Hill. There is some possibility that the lake is Lake Grasmere, but Grasmere is not flanked by a steep hill as shown in this view Label on backing board (not retained, not in hand of the artist): "Scene on the West Coast Road from Christchurch to Hokitika passing through the Craigburn Valley" Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 253 x 352 mm. Provenance: Previously part of the collection of Sir James Fletcher.
