Description: A view from below the summit of The Terrace, looking south down onto Te Aro and along the beach towards Mount Victoria and Oriental Bay. There are houses along the shoreline, a jetty, Manners Street runs parallel to the shore and there are houses dotted back over the flat land. There is low scrub in the foreground Appears to be a copy of the left side of of S C Brees' "Te Aro flat from near Captain Sharpe's residence" which shows Wellington in 1844 or 1845. (Panorama plate 66 in Brees' Pictorial Illustrations of New Zealand, published London, 1847). Some details differ. The road in the left foreground is more marked, there are additional houses stretching back over the valley floor, and several buildings nearer the foreground are different from Brees' engraving, as are the details of the outline of Mount Victoria and the cliffs leading towards Oriental Bay. Several of these differences can also be observed in the wood engraving of the same view published in the Illustrated London News, 'Wellington, Te Aro flat' Sept 11 1847, p. 168, and in a related oil painting in the National Library of Australia. Both this watercolour and the oil painting may be copied from the Illustrated London news. The style of the watercolour is very like that of W. S. Hatton, who is known to have copied many views from the Illustrated London news, although his or her work was normally signed.
