The horseman in the distance is probably Lord Ranfurly. Inscriptions: Album page - beneath image - On the mountain track to Ruatoki Malcolm Ross, in "Through Tuhoe land" (Christchurch Press, 1904) states that , after leaving their camp at Kopuriki "The Governor had decided to get to Ruatoki by a short way, over a mountain range; so, instead of keeping to the main road, we drove along a track on the right side of the Wairohau [sic] Valley .... After proceeding some ten or fifteen miles, we turned in towards the range on our right, and, leaving the wagonettes, continued the journey on horseback. The track zig-zagged up a steep mountain side, and as the cavalcade of some hundred men and women climbed up in single file, the effect was most picturesque."
