Description: Photographs probably taken by George William Barltrop, circa 1890s-1900s. Most of the scenes are taken on a river boat trip up the Whanganui River, and include two of groups of Maori; one showing two nuns in full habit, walking behind three young Maori girls who are wearing ankle-length dresses. Some of the river scenes show stretches of the river, including several `on the rapids', and one of a group of men in a waka. Others are of the various villages passed on the trip, including one of the river boat tied up at Jerusalem, with a cart drawn by two horses alongside. One view shows the mouth of the Whanganui River at Patea, and from there the images are of the New Plymouth area, including Mount Taranaki (then Mount Egmont), the Sugar Loaves, the monument to Wiremu Tamati on the hill at Corbett Park (Oakura), and Opunake.

By: Clarke, Cuthbert Charles, 1818-1863; Oliver, Richard Aldworth, 1811-1889

Reference: B-030-001

Description: Shows Maori launching a canoe; a horse and cart are on the road to the right, at the base of a cliff Title taken from handwritten slip on back; compare with slip on back of B-030/002. Both slips removed in the course of conservation and no longer present. There is a faint pencil drawing of a bush scene on the verso. The backing of the work has been partially removed and the drawing is hard to see. This work was attributed by the Library to Cuthbert Clarke until 2008. However Clarke is not known to have visited the Wellington region and the style appears closer to that of R. A. Oliver, who was based in Wellington and visited the Hutt Valley on more than one occasion. One watercolour of the Hutt by Oliver is dated March 1848, another September 30th, with no year. Compare the articulation of the figure dragging the canoe at the right, with a figure in the same position, dragging a canoe at Wahapu, Bay of Islands, in Oliver's watercolour at C-001-011 Other Titles - Clarke, Cuthbert Charles, 1819-1863. 1848-1851 Inscriptions: Recto - 'Title taken from handwritten slip on back; compare with slip on back of B-030-002' according to catalogue card. Neither hand-written slip has been retained. The wording of the title suggests a later attribution, not the artist's own title. For location of this view compare with Charles Barraud's "[River valley] 1856" at B-084-005; and with G Swainson's "Road round the second gorge", lithograph in British Library - see file print of this at E-143-067. Several of Swainson's lithographs are after originals by other artists. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour 241 x 327 mm

Description: Bullock cart with Maori bringing canoe ashore. Background is a combination of the shoreline at Onehunga (Auckland) and south of New Plymouth (Taranaki), showing Paritutu volcanic peak and the off-shore Sugar Loaf Islands. Strutt described the group of Maori depicted as being at Onehunga, however. Extract from William Strutt's journal Part II, p. 210 (ed G. Mackaness): "before leaving Onehunga a pretty sight presented itself to us. The morning was lovely and the charming bay and beach were quite animated with a fleet of canoes, just arrived with all sorts of produce for the Auckland market. The picturesque canoes were beached to the lively song of the natives, their contents landed and the tribe gathered together to hear a short speech from a fine old chief, which done, the kits (native baskets) were shouldered, or strapped to the backs of the bearers, with the strong and handy slings, each generally as well carring a huge cum cum or pumpkin, while not a few drove fat pigs tied by one leg to the market." Strutt also labelled a photograph of this painting, many years later as "Maoris beaching their canoes and going off to market at Onehunga near Auckland". - information about photograph label from Heather Curnow, Strutt's biographer, see TL3/1/1 24 July 1974.
