Description: New Zealand views taken circa 1870s to 1880s by E Wheeler & Son. Scenes include both North Island and South Island views, and all places named are listed above, as are businesses, ships and buildings, where possible. Items of interest include a photograph of trout taken by the Upper Selwyn River "A good day's sport. 38 fish, with the fly, 2 rods" with two large baskets alongside. Two scenes show different means of transport across rivers where there are no bridges. One is the "Cage bridge" (or Flying Fox) across the Teremakau (Taramakau) River, and the other shows a ferry punt across the Buller River. A number of views show farming activities, including a scene near Cheviot of about 20,000 sheep being drafted for shearing; and one of a wagon laden with wool bales being hauled by a team of bullocks. A view of gold sluicing is shown in this album with the locality indistinct. The same view is shown in the first Wheeler Album (PA1-o-532) in which the locality is named as Waimea.

Date: 1866 - 1868

By: Nairn, Francis Edward, 1819?-1910

Reference: C-126-013

Description: Shows bullock dray in right foreground, between tall trees especially on left side of track. There are close hills in the background. Artist and date ascertained from very similar works held in Rex Nan Kivell Collection (Vol. III, page 53, item 3842-43). ATL has file prints of these in Drawings & Prints. Nairn, who arrived in Taranaki in 1841, was on the move in the 1860s, probably as a goldminer, since he drew scenes in the Otago gold fields in 1863 and had settled in Collingwood by the 1880s and probably before then. This is likely therefore to be a South Island scene, with the balance of probability being that is it the Collingwood area, possibly the road to Collingwood from Nelson.
