Bidwill's run and appears as a conical hill in the centre horizon of the left-hand view, as well as other hills moving towards the centre of the view. In the right-hand portion, the Ruamahanga River curves past bush, forming an island, and there are two cabbage trees on the far right. On the recto of these two drawings is another panorama of the Wairarapa 'Morissons Run ...' 1848' (A-292-076/077). Other Titles - Glenmorven Inscriptions: Recto - beneath image - title.
