Date: 1887
By: Halcombe, Edith Stanway, 1844-1903; Wilson & Horton (Firm)
Reference: C-165-005
Description: Two panoramic views of the 1887 Easter encampments held at Auckland and on the Waiwhakaio River in Taranaki. The smaller of the two images, depicting the Auckland camp, shows two officers on a hillside in the foreground, surveying the camp in the distance. Various volunteer militia, grouped either in a mass or in rows, can be seen in the distance. Horses can be seen grazing in the middle ground. The Taranaki encampment shows a national gathering of Volunteer Forces returning from an exercise at Bell Block. Mount Taranaki and ranges are visible behind the encampment. Katere Ki Te Moana kainga (a pa on the top of Mangaone hill, New Plymouth) can be seen on the hill in the distance. Where the encampment is located has become the Rewarewa reserve. Lithograph of Taranaki camp taken from the 1887 oil painting by Edith Stanway Halcombe entitled 'Easter encampment, Waiw[h]akaiho, 1887', held at Puke Ariki in New Plymouth. Note that the lithograph is in reverse. It is not certain if Halcombe was the original artist of the Auckland encampment lithograph, though the styles are similar In addition to this lithograph, another was made slightly later by A D Willis, advertised for sale from 4 May 1887 ('Volunteer encampment, New Plymouth, 1887', held at Puke Ariki), and based on Edith Halcombe's painting. It is reasonable to suggest therefore that she did her own lithographic version for 'The Auckland weekly news' Quantity: 1 b&w art print(s). Physical Description: Lithograph, 295 x 365 mm (horizontal) on sheet 453 x 310 mm (vertical) (sight)
