There are several dwellings in the foreground, a flagpole on the foreshore at the left, near a wharf which juts out into the harbour. The flagpole probably marks the site of Government House.

Date: 1850 - 1852

By: Weld, Frederick Aloysius (Hon Sir), 1823-1891

Reference: B-139-004

Description: Shows view of Lyttelton looking towards the immigration barracks, John Robert Godley's house, and the Sumner Road. Shows surrounding houses including one on the hillside above the Sumner Road, with the flagpole outside it. Assumed to be by Weld because of similarity in style to depictions of Lyttleton at the same time, said to be by Weld, held at Canterbury Museum, especially one taken from the same spot and dated 1852. Note long parallel brush strokes, fence palings, ploughed fields. Likely to be slightly after 1850. Compare William Fox's Passengers by the Cressy Landing drawn in December 1850. Weld's painting shows extra buildings and the barracks of the 1850 view converted into houses. It does not show Holy Trinity Church, built and blown down in 1853, but the church might be out of sight on the left from this angle. However, a Canterbury Museum watercolour taken from the identical spot by Mary Townsend is dated 1850. The vendors had this work catalogued as 'School of William Fox', dated ca 1851 Other Titles - Lyttelton, New Zealand c. 1851 Inscriptions: Mat recto - beneath image - Lyttelton, New Zealand c.1851; Unsigned. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour 195 x 295 mm.
