Waimate North Mission Station seen from the front, with its flag inscribed Rongopai flying in the foreground and several outbuildings, including a dovecot to the right. The beginnings of a circular garden with two small small bushes and a surrounding drive can be seen in the foreground. The building has dormer windows in the roof and verandah posts.

Title from mount
Another view of the same house by Richard Taylor, drawn between 1839 and 1843, (NON-ATL-0131) shows much more development in the garden, including climbing plants, possibly roses, growing up onto the roof of the house, a fenced-in verandah, a garden developed in front of the verandah, and a much more developed central circular garden bed in the foreground
The artist, Gardiner, is known to have copied other views of both New Zealand and Tasmania, published between 1835 and 1856. None of his work is signed, and the source of his name is unknown, although it may have come from the owner of his work in the 1950s, Captain A W F Fuller.
