Date: 1843 - 1844
From: [Various artists] :[Mrs Hobson's album. 1843-1845]
By: Mitford, John Guise, 1822-1854
Reference: E-216-f-111
Description: View from above Grafton Gully, covered in dense bush, with low fenced hills and Governor Hobson's grave in the cemetery in the centre. A road runs past the cemetery towards Government House in the middle distance. Several other houses can also be seen. In the distance across the water, the flagstaff marks Mount Victoria, with Rangitoto beyond that. The flat island further off, left of centre is Tiritiri. Painted in early 1843, before the artist moved to an appointment at Russell. A fence has been raised around Governor Hobson's grave. The funeral had taken place in November 1842. Compare Mitford's very similar view at E-216-f-041. The view is attributed to Edward Ashworth by Janet Paul in Mrs Hobson's album (Auckland, 1990) p. 149. However there are strong stylistic similarities to the work of Mitford, and it seems more likely that he painted two views from similar spots for Mrs Hobson Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 195 x 301 mm
