Description: A photograph of an original art work, showing seven Clydesdale horses, with boy riders, pulling a wagon (known as a wood wain or woodwain) decorated with flags and foliage. The horses are controlled by a man standing in the wagon, probably Mr B Reeve. Along the sides of the wagon are seated young women. The location is a plain with distant hills, and the horses' hooves stir up a little dust in their wake. An article in the Evening Post, 10 May 1869, refers to the original painting and states that it was the work of Mr Jury; elsewhere in the Evening Post from the same era there are other references to Mr H Jury as an artist. A copy of the photograph of the painting was published in the Evening Post in 1929. Agnes Shaw is known to have been a photographer in Wellington in the 1920s, and this photograph may have been taken, from the painting, in the 1920s. Quantity: 1 photograph(s). Physical Description: Photograph 117 x 194 mm. Provenance: Mrs Hudson is the great grand-daughter of Mr B Reeve, the subject of the painting.
