[Fox, William] 1812-1893 :[Westoe. ca 1874?]
Date: 1872 - 1875
By: Fox, William, 1812-1893
Reference: WC-049
Description: Shows William Fox's station Westoe, viewed from the side. There is a group of people riding on a cart drawn by two horses, leaving the house, and bush and hills beyond it. The view is from across the river, but the artist has enlarged the house relative to the place from which he must have drawn it; also the carriage and horses are too large for the proportions of the house. This house was completed in 1874, but possibly substantially built by 1872. See WC-050 for Fox's dated picture of the house Exhibited in 'Picturing Paradise; the colonial watercolours of William Fox', Exhibition at National Library Gallery 25 February - 18 June 2000; Hocken Library, Dunedin, 11 September - 15 October 2000. Curated by Jill Trevelyan. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour 106 x 315 mm

Description: Close view of the front of William Fox's newly-built house, with children in a horse-drawn cart on the curving drive outside the front front door. Garden beds are established at the edge of the drive, with a circular bed in front of the house, with mature cabbage trees and another tree. Reproduced as the front cover illustration of the Alexander Turnbull Library Desk Diary, 1989. The house was not completed until 1874 (information from the current owners). Either this was a speculative drawing by Fox, based on the architect's drawings, or he labelled it at a later date and was mistaken about the date.
