Description: On the left, a plan view of a fortified pa at Golden Bay. Rougly rectangular in shape, it is shown on a hilltop with a double palisade and two entrances. On the right is a side view of 'Section of walls near a gateway', showing a man crouched in a trench between two palisades, aiming a rifle through the base of the outer palisade. A lengthy note below explains the method of building palisades The image of 'Section of walls near a gateway' may refer to the pa at Massacre (Golden) Bay, or may refer to an associated lithograph by Heaphy Earthworks at Rangiriri, Waikato, 1863 (Copy held at B-043-016-5-1, or B-043-015-5-1). The note refers to the palisade protecting against shells or cannonballs, likely to be used by English troops, and not known to be in use against any pa in the Golden Bay area. However the Golden Bay pa shown appears to be a fully defensive one and is completely enclosed with a double palisade, offset entranceways, and a watch-tower Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - on backing sheet in pencil.
