From: [Brees, Samuel Charles] 1810-1865 :Pictorial Illustrations of New Zealand. Plate 3. Lowry Bay District & Road, 6; The Aglionby Arms (Burcham's) River Hutt, 7; Porerua Bay, 8. Engraved by Henry Melville; drawn by S C Brees. [1847]

By: Brees, Samuel Charles, 1810?-1865; Melville, Henry, 1792-1870

Reference: A-109-023

Description: Shows path into hills with apparently land-locked water in the background. From: Brees, S C. Pictorial illustrations of New Zealand, no 6 Plate 3, published London 1847 Brees in his text to "Pictorial Illustrations" notes: "This is a district adjoining Port Nicholson consisting principally of swamp and fern ... There are two mountain streams connected with this district, the Wai-nui-o-mate and the Oronga-ronga ... A road will be carried over this way to the Waira-rapa,some day as a cross line to Palliser Bay". This tect suggests that the 1840s definition of the extent of Lowry Bay was much larger than the present and included the Wainuiomata and Orongorongo Valleys. The image does not resemble the topography of the present Lowry Bay area, but the expanse of water is too great for the area shown to be Wainuiomata or Orongorongo Quantity: 1 colour art print(s).
