The upper engraved illustration is captioned "New Zealand to-day - the North-Shore Regatta, Auckland; a race between Maori war canoes" and shows a view of Auckland Harbour, with yachts and Maori waka racing, and shows signature of Charles Bloomfield in lower left corner "C. Blomfield 1882".

The engraving illustrations were made from two photographs taken by Messrs Hemus and Hanna, Auckland, of two paintings.

The photographs were sent to 'The Graphic' by Messrs Champtaloup and Cooper, 76 Queen Street, Auckland.
