Description: The centre foreground shows the site of an ancient pa of the Waiohua people, with a view of the southern approach to the Manukau Harbour and Auckland isthmus. A track leads on to the wooded promontory from the left foreground. Beyond the rock and to the right of it is a settler's farmhouse showing fenced fields, tree stumps, and rows of garden plantings. Two figures on horseback ride on the road at the base of the promontory, near the farm, and a woman and child stand in the centre of a nearby field. In the left distance, two rivers flow away into the Manukau Harbour and the Waitakere Ranges appear on the far horizon. The light effects and appearance of the sky indicate that the time is shortly before sunset "Art unions" were raffles or lotteries for works of art, and helped artists to get their works known. The Gaming and Lotteries Act of 1880 regulated this activity. Roger Blackley, in "The art of Alfred Sharpe" (Auckland, 1992) notes that the period around 1880 represents the peak of Alfred Sharpe's career; he held two art unions, and published the first of his technical writings. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 610 x 942 mm Provenance: From the collection of artist and writer Tui McLauchlan. In 1880, this work, valued at 15 guineas, was the first prize in Alfred Sharpe's Christmas art union. The ten prizes were exhibited over December at Edward Wayte's stationery shop in Queen Street. The first prize winner (and therefore first owner of this work) was John Boylan, C.E., an Auckland civil engineer.

Artist unknown :Otea or Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. [9 or 10 Dec. 1847 or 1843]....
Date: 1847 - 1841 - 1843
By: Bambridge, William, 1819-1879; Scammell, Edward DuBoistel, active 1930s
Reference: A-090-017
Description: Captain Nagle's house on the right, in the middle distance, with other buildings to the left and huts and tents in the foreground. A flag on a hill in the middle distance, a small canoe landing on the shore to the right and a longer Maori war canoe in the water. Compare A-090-018. This view (A-090-017) shows the house in more detail, but lacks the large ship being built as shown in A-090-018. The similarity of the two views appears to be the reason that Chief Librarian Johannes Andersen attributed the work to Bambridge. However the style is not that of Bambridge The drawing is on a page that has been removed from a bound volume, with rust marks down the remains of the gutter. Other Titles - Bambridge, William Inscriptions: Recto - beneath image - title in pencil in Bambridge's hand. In addition there are pencil inscriptions above and below the image in the hand of the Alexander Turnbull Library's Chief Librarian, Johannes Andersen, suggesting the work is by William Bambridge, providing extra information about Nagle, the date of Bambridge's visit and the name of the donor of the work to the Library. Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: Pencil and watercolour on paper, 238 x 205 mm
