Reference: Eph-D-POLITICS-Wellington-1857-01

Description: Text outlines Isaac Featherston's occupation of 28,000 acres at a very low rent, and implies that Featherston is reluctant to answer questions about it. The New Zealander for 21 November 1857, Page 3, makes this comment: "If this be true, one cannot wonder that Dr. Featherston disapproves of such personal questions being put to him on the platform, or that he and his colleagues have made such desperate efforts to retain the Government in their hands. Nor can we wonder that the feeling should now generally pervade the Province, that it would be better to encourage a healthy tide of self-paid immigration by resorting to the system of selling land on credit, in proportion to passage-money —rather than raise large loans on the Provincial lands to import labourers for the large run-holders". Exhibited as part of the exhibition "I protest", in Alexander Turnbull Foyer, Feb-April 1997. Poster was distributed by supporters of Dr Robert Porter Welch, opposition candidate for the Superintendency in the Wellington Provincial Government elections in 1857. Quantity: 1 colour art print(s). Physical Description: Letterpress print, 580 x 400 mm.
