- Description
View from across the Waikato River towards a steep hill with steps cut out of the riverside slope. The fence of a redoubt can be seen on top, with a gun to one side. A horse is being transported on a raft on the river, and another is carrying a load along the bank, led by a soldier.
Probably copied from a watercolour by Hamley's superior officer, E. A. Williams, although the exact model is not known. A closer view by Williams, 'Whangamarino, 12 March 1864' is in the Turnbull at E-249-050. Whangamarino Redoubt was constructed in 1863 and the wooden palisade was removed during 1864
